UNASSIGNED: Combat exposure and @entity458 ( @entity458 ) are prevalent among returning @entity1 veterans and are associated with increased @entity285 use and @entity458 . However, it remains unclear the extent to which combat exposure and @entity458 are associated with utilization of health care in the @entity283 ( @entity283 ). The current study explored the relationships among @entity285 use and distress in @entity1 who deployed in support of Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and New Dawn. It was hypothesized that increased @entity1005 ( @entity1005 ) and @entity308 symptomatology and @entity130 exposure would be related to greater @entity283 utilization, whereas @entity285 misuse would predict lower @entity283 use. @entity1 (N = 133) completed an Internet-based survey of deployment experiences, substance use, mental health, and utilization of @entity283 services. In this sample, 33% endorsed @entity458 exposure, 64% endorsed combat exposure, and 78% indicated exposure to the aftermath of battle. Multiple regression models found combat exposure-but not @entity458 or aftermath-to be significantly associated with @entity285 use and symptoms of @entity1005 and @entity308 . Only 37% of @entity1 reported use of @entity283 services, and logistic regression models indicated that @entity1005 symptomatology was the only unique predictor of @entity283 use. Findings suggest potential barriers for @entity1 who endured sexually based @entity130 in a military setting in seeking treatment at the @entity283 . (PsycINFO Database Record
