The exposure of interest was Vietnam theater service. Surveys mailed to random samples of veterans (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 42,393) and nonveterans (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 6,885) resulted in response rates of 45.0% for veterans (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 6,735 VTs,<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>= 70.09,<jats:italic>SE<\/jats:italic>= 0.04;<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 12,131 NTs) and 67.0% for NVs (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 4,530). We examined self\u2010report data on four mental health outcomes: probable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, psychological distress, and overall mental health functioning. Weighted adjusted odds ratios (a<jats:italic>ORs<\/jats:italic>) between each outcome and cohort were estimated, controlling for covariates in four models: cohort plus sociodemographic variables (Model 1), Model 1 plus physical health variables (Model 2), Model 2 plus potentially traumatic events (PTEs; Model 3), and Model 3 plus other military service variables (Model 4). Mental health outcome prevalence was highest for VTs versus other cohorts, with the largest a<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic>, 2.88, for PTSD, 95% CI [2.46, 3.37],<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt; .001 (Model 4, VT:NT). Physical health and PTEs contributed most to observed effects; other service variables contributed least to a<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic>s overall. Mental health dysfunction persists among VTs years after the war's end. The present results reaffirm previous findings and highlight the need for continued mental health surveillance in VTs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jts.22775","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,15]],"date-time":"2022-03-15T18:29:00Z","timestamp":1647368940000},"page":"605-618","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The mental health of Vietnam theater veterans\u2014the lasting effects of the war: 2016\u20132017 Vietnam Era Health Retrospective Observational Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1975-4497","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yasmin","family":"Cypel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology Program, Health Outcomes of Military Exposures (12POP5) U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Washington D.C.
