"This volume is the result of collaboration and consultation to disasters and traumatic events affecting military women and men. These empirical studies examine the psychological, behavioral, cognitive and physiological responses to traumatic events in military women across services. In this volume, the authors examine the effects of wartime deployment to the Persian Gulf, traumatic relocation of military families in the wake of Hurricane Andrew, health care and disaster workers following a mass casualty plane crash at Ramstein Air Force Base, spouses of military disaster workers following a mass-casualty plane crash on an Air Force Reserve Base in Sioux City, Iowa. The authors also conducted a large epidemiological study at two military sites (Ft. Ord, California and Ft. Carson, Colorado) to examine baseline health and develop norms for future study of gender, stress and health in soldiers exposed to military-related and generic traumatic events." -- Abstract.
