Military Exposures Research: A State-of-the-Art Review

Military exposures research published since 1962 has focused on cohorts from large, high-profile deployments, particularly the Gulf War. Underrepresented cohorts with potential exposures on bases or from military occupations present opportunities for future research. The lack of meaningful exposure assessment data that has been published also points to further research opportunities to specifically improve collection and accessibility of exposure data. This work should be done with a focus on cohorts where research can directly impact Veterans access to benefits and exposure-informed care.
