Number of deployments, number of close friends or relatives reported at follow-up, and enlisted pay grade were also significantly associated with postdeployment PTSD. ❋ Christopher Phillips (2010)

Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine which significant exposures and experiences were associated with postdeployment PTSD. ❋ Christopher Phillips (2010)

A total of 676 veterans who served since September 11, 2001, and who volunteered to participate in research studies were interviewed with instruments designed to collect information on psychiatric symptoms, health, and possible postdeployment adjustment issues. ❋ Elbogen (2010)
