It reflects the committee's examination of health outcomes and related research efforts, women's health and reproductive health issues, infrastructure and procedures for data collection, health services influences, the role of psychiatric diagnosis, and a review of the activities of boards and coordinating groups, as well as how issues stemming from involvement in the Persian Gulf might be relevant for possible future conflicts. While the committee continues its full-length study of the problem, the recommendations in this volume are for actions it feels should be taken immediately. 606 $aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xVeterans$xDiseases$zUnited States 606 $aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xVeterans$xMedical care$zUnited States 606 $aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xVeterans$xDiseases 615 0$aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xVeterans$xMedical care 615 0$aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xHealth aspects 676 $a956.7044/27 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bMedical Follow-up Agency. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957182603321 996 $aHealth consequences of service during the Persian Gulf War$94360018 997 $aUNINA
