This report presents the baseline findings from a longitudinal analysis of enrollees in the Air Force Wounded Warrior (AFW2) program who were receiving benefits or undergoing evaluation to receive benefits, the majority of whom had a primary administrative diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A high proportion of the Airmen in the sample screened positive for PTSD (roughly 78 percent) and major depressive disorder (MDD) (roughly 75 percent); 69 percent screened positive for both. Although more than 90 percent of those in the sample who screened positive for PTSD or MDD were receiving treatment, about half indicated that there was at least one instance during the past year in which they desired mental health treatment but did not receive it. Participants reported concerns about stigma, confidentiality, and the quality of available treatment as barriers to receiving mental health care, though the current data do not link these concerns to a particular treatment setting. About 10 percent of Airmen reported a financial situation that could be considered as living in poverty based on U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' poverty guidelines. Similarly, close to 15 percent of those in the labor force could be considered unemployed. Reserve and National Guard Airmen evidenced heightened challenges across examined domains. Respondents were overall satisfied with the services they received from the AFW2 and Air Force Recovery Care Coordinator programs 606 $aVeteran reintegration$xNeeds assessment$y21st century$zUnited States 606 $aVeterans$xMedical care$zUnited States 606 $aAfghan War, 2001-2021$xVeterans$xServices for$zUnited States 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011$xSocial conditions$zUnited States 606 $aDisabled veterans$xMental health$zUnited States 606 $aVeterans$xEmployment$zUnited States 606 $aVeterans$zUnited States 606 $aHealth Surveys 606 $aPersons with Disabilities 606 $aVeterans Health 606 $aHealth Care Evaluation Mechanisms 606 $aEnvironment and Public Health 606 $aHealth Care Quality, Access, and Evaluation 606 $aMilitary Administration$2HILCC 606 $aMilitary & Naval Science$2HILCC 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 615 0$aVeteran reintegration$xNeeds assessment 615 0$aVeterans$xMedical care 615 0$aAfghan War, 2001-2021$xVeterans$xServices for 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011$xSocial conditions 615 0$aDisabled veterans$xMental health 615 0$aVeterans$xEmployment 615 0$aVeterans 615 2$aHealth Surveys. 615 2$aPersons with Disabilities. 615 2$aVeterans Health. 615 2$aHealth Care Evaluation Mechanisms. 615 2$aEnvironment and Public Health. 615 2$aHealth Care Quality, Access, and Evaluation. 615 7$aMilitary Administration 615 7$aMilitary & Naval Science 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 676 $a362.4086/970973 700 $aSims$b Carra S.$01208724 701 $aVaughan$b Christine Anne$01253812 701 $aTheologis$b Haralambos$01253813 701 $aBoal$b Ashley Lynn$f1986-$01253814 701 $aOsilla$b Karen Chan$01253815 712 02$aProject Air Force (U.S.) 712 02$aRand Corporation. 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220114703321 996 $aNavigating the road to reintegration : status and continuing support of the U.S. Air Force's wounded warriors$92907389 997 $aUNINA
