  • This study examined the prevalence of 5 types of adversities (i.e., health, employment, interpersonal, financial, and healthcare access) among National Guard and Reserve (NG/R) Service members. 1,110 NG/R Service members reported whether they had experienced each of the 5 types of adversities, whether they had recently separated from the military (n = 206), and their demographic information (e.g., military branch, sex, education, marital status). Overall, employment difficulties (e.g., losing a job, unemployment) and financial problems were the most common adversities that participants faced.
