(March 2022), publishing in Psychological Trauma, Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy; “PTSD, Depression, and Suicidality Among Survivors of Childhood Sexual Trauma (CST), Military Sexual Trauma (MST), and Sexual Revictimization (CST + MST)” by Baca, S.A., Crawford, J.N. & Allard, C.B. (Oct. 7, 2021), published in Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy; and “Military Sexual Trauma Survivors’ Perceptions of Veterans Health Administrative Care: A Qualitative Examination” by Monteith, L.L., Bahraini, N.H., Gerber, H.R., Holliman, B.D., Schneider, A.L., Holliday, R. & Matarazzo, B.B.

Also investigated, in one of the studies, are the experiences of survivors of MST with the care provided by professionals working for the Veterans Administration.
