Probable adjustment disorder in the UK Armed Forces: prevalence, stressors and risk factors among serving personnel and ex-serving personnel
The findings provide foundational knowledge of AjD for the UK military. In addition to military-specific factors, non-military stressors and risk factors were identified, which mapped onto those seen in the general population. Further exploration is recommended to understand AjD differences between civilian and military populations.
