Abstract

Only 20-40% of U.S. veterans utilize Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare services and little is known about the veterans who do and do not engage with the VA. Using a nationally representative sample, the current study compared sociodemographic, military service, medical, and psychosocial characteristics of VA users and non-VA users.
