Lay Summary The human dimension of war can be traumatizing. For women serving as active-duty service members, the atrocities of war can be exacerbated by sexual harassment and abuse, known as military sexual trauma (MST). The limited research on MST among U.S. Veterans suggests that as many as 1 in 3 Veterans experiencing homelessness were exposed to MST. MST can have long-lasting consequences, including alcohol and drug problems, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, chronic health problems, and unstable housing and homelessness. This qualitative exploratory study used a life course perspective to examine how MST and other experiences influenced female Veterans’ pathways into homelessness.

Military sexual trauma (MST) can cause mental and physical illness in both men and women. It can also influence behavior and the ability to work with others. MST encompasses a range of unwanted sexual attentions ranging from gender harassment to sexual coercion and gang rape. Sexual assaults in the military continue to rise with an 11% increase reported for fiscal year 2009, including a 16% rise in the Afghanistan and Iraq war zones. This paper includes (a) a brief overview of MST; (b) how MST affects female veterans; (c) how MST affects male veterans; (d) the interrelationship of MST, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health problems; (e) MST and its effect on quality of life; (j) current effective MST therapeutic treatments; and (g) rehabilitation considerations.
