MGHPGR: 9th Harry E. Ford, III, MD/ Margaret Henehan, Lecture on Psychiatric Treatments of Minority and Underserved Populations
9th Harry E. Ford, III, M.D./Margaret Henehan, Lecture on Psychiatric Treatments of Minority and Underserved Populations Grand Rounds: “Wounded Spirits, Ailing Hearts”: PTSD and Lessons Learned from American Indian Military Veterans”
The National Vietnam Veteran’s Readjustment Study (NVVRS; 1988) documented the personal consequences of combat for US military personnel. The NVVRS’ findings marked a major advance in our understanding of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and fueled the widespread expansion of services to those in greatest need. Its higher prevalence among African American and Hispanic veterans underscored the added risk of PTSD and even greater need of services in racial/ethnic minority personnel. However, American Indians and Alaska Natives were not among NVVRS participants. The ensuing Congressionally mandated Matsunaga Study remedied this oversight, and generated unique insights into the nature, extent, and impact of PTSD in this special population and generated unique insights that are the subject of this presentation.

- Identify and describe major predictors of risk for PTSD and related comorbidities among American Indian combat veterans
