Multiple regressions and moderated regressions examined the influence of the risk and resilience factors on PTSD symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adverse deployment environmental conditions were associated with worse PTSD outcomes, while post-deployment social support predicted better outcomes. Contrary to expectation, support from family and friends during deployment was associated with worse PTSD outcomes. Deployment environmental conditions significantly moderated the relationships between post-deployment social support and PTSD and between post-deployment stressors and PTSD such that the impact of these post-deployment factors on PTSD was weakened when deployment environmental conditions were worse.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Consistent with previous research, social support post-deployment was an important predictor of PTSD outcomes and should be a focus of societal reintegration for Veterans. In addition, adverse conditions during deployment (e.g., cleanliness, access to showers) was a significant factor predicting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) outcomes and should be prioritized to optimize Veteran health. These deployment conditions were associated with poor PTSD outcomes even for Veterans with high social support and with low life stressors. Findings suggest that enhancing environmental conditions\u2014such as improving safety and cleanliness\u2014may significantly reduce PTSD symptom severity among Veterans.<\/jats:p>\n
