- Researchers evaluated gender differences in a variety of combat-related stress dimensions and associated consequences for postdeployment mental health in a representative sample of female and male U.S. Veterans who had returned from deployment to Afghanistan or Iraq within the previous year. Results suggest that female OEF/OIF Service members may be as resilient to combat-related stress as men.
