Patterns and Correlates of Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Screening among Recently Separated Veterans

ConclusionsFindings suggest that Black, Hispanic/Latinx and multiracial veterans may be at higher risk for PTSD shortly following separation from the military. Contextual factors examined explain the excess risk among some, but not all, subgroups. Further specifying disparities in PTSD diagnostic rates and risk factors will enable targeted and tailored intervention among veteran subgroups.
