Physical and Behavioral Health Diagnoses and Comorbidities Associated With Transition From Military Health System to Veterans Health Care Among Post‐9/11 Veterans
Post-9/11 veterans with multimorbidity and significant disease burden experienced more MHS-VHA care transitions. Biracial/multiracial/multiethnic members may benefit from enhanced care coordination between the MHS and VHA to reduce disparities and improve population health in post-9/11 veterans. Future research should examine MHS-VHA care transitions in service members treated for suicidality.
