In comparison to a demographically matched sample of nonveteran students, we found that veterans in our study had significantly higher levels of depression and post-traumatic stress symptomatology and non-significantly lower levels of engagement in meaningful activities and meaning in life. Our non-experimental study indicates mental health differences between student veterans and their nonveteran peers do exist and argues for the inclusion of occupational therapy services for student veterans.born digitalmasters thesesengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
