The current analysis identified prescribing trends of medications recommended for (i.e., select antidepressants) and against (i.e., benzodiazepines, select antidepressants, antipsychotics, and select anticonvulsants) use in PTSD treatment among women and men in 2010\u20132019. All veterans receiving care for PTSD in 2019 were identified using national U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) administrative data. Multivariable logistic regression analyses, adjusted for demographic characteristics and psychiatric comorbidities, were used to contrast the likelihood of receiving a medication class across genders. Sensitivity analyses using identical selection methods were conducted for the calendar years 2010, 2013, and 2016. In 2019, 877,785 veterans received treatment for PTSD within the VA, 13.5% of whom were women. Across medication classes and years, women were more likely to receive all psychiatric medications of interest. Relative to men, women were slightly more likely to receive antidepressants recommended for PTSD in 2019, adjusted odds ratio (a<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic>) = 1.07, 95% CI [1.06, 1.09]. However, gender differences for medications recommended against use for PTSD were notably larger, including benzodiazepines, a<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic> = 1.62, 95% CI [1.59, 1.65]; anticonvulsants. a<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic> = 1.41, 95% CI [1.38, 1.44]; and antidepressants recommended against use for PTSD, a<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic> = 1.26, 95% CI [1.19, 1.33]. To inform tailored intervention strategies, future work is needed to fully understand why women receive more medications recommended against use for PTSD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jts.22861","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,7]],"date-time":"2022-07-07T17:14:05Z","timestamp":1657214045000},"page":"1586-1597","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Gender differences in medication prescribing patterns for veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder: A 10\u2010year follow\u2010up study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0513-4609","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katherine","family":"Hadlandsmyth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Office of Rural Health Veterans Rural Health Resource Center Iowa City VA Health Care System  Iowa City Iowa USA"},{"name":"Center for Comprehensive Access and Delivery Research and Evaluation (CADRE) Iowa City VA Health Care System  Iowa City Iowa USA"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesia Carver College of Medicine University of Iowa  Iowa City Iowa USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nancy C.","family":"Bernardy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"White River Junction VA Medical Center Research Department White River Junction  Vermont USA"},{"name":"National Center for PTSD White River Junction  Vermont USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth  Hanover New Hampshire USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian C.","family":"Lund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Office of Rural Health Veterans Rural Health Resource Center Iowa City VA Health Care System  Iowa City Iowa USA"},{"name":"Center for Comprehensive Access and Delivery Research and Evaluation (CADRE) Iowa City VA Health Care System  Iowa City Iowa USA"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology University of Iowa College of Public Health  Iowa City Iowa USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","first-page":"564","article-title":"Understanding principles of high\u2010reliability organizations through the eyes of VIONE: A clinical program to improve patient safety by deprescribing potentially inappropriate medications and reducing polypharmacy","volume":"36","author":"Battar S.","year":"2019","journal-title":"Federal Practitioner"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4088\/JCP.21m14128"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606\u2010012\u20102260\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3402\/ejpt.v5.25547"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11920\u2010020\u20101140\u2010y"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","unstructured":"Gradus J.
