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.

Target Audience

This program is intended for: Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Fellows, Residents, Interns and Nurses

Learning Objectives

At the end of this presentation participants will be able to:

  1. Identify and describe major predictors of risk for PTSD and related comorbidities among American Indian combat veterans
  2. Discuss the social and cultural context of the lived experience of PTSD among American Indian combat veterans
  3. Describe the range of treatments of PTSD deemed appropriate to and sought by American Indian combat veterans
