- This study examined the prevalence of food and/or housing instability (e.g., not having enough money for food or housing) among 15,166 post-9/11 Veterans and identified factors related to the likelihood of having experienced food/housing instability. Veterans selfreported whether they had ever experienced food/housing instability and when they experienced it (i.e., before, during, and/or after military service). They also reported stressful past experiences (e.g., homelessness, adverse childhood experiences [ACEs], depression), physical health (e.g., hypertension, diabetes), substance use, and sociodemographic factors (e.g., social support, rank, deployment status). In general, stressful past experiences were most consistently related to a greater likelihood of food/housing instability.
