A Novel Approach for Evaluating Programs Designed to Serve Military Veterans: Using an Adapted Common Components Analysis
This report examines cross-sectional data from a pilot study using an adapted CCA across five domains of well-being (i.e., employment, education, legal/financial/housing, mental/physical health, and social/personal relationships).
