Health Disparities and Occupational Health in Military Service Members and Veterans
This special issue belongs to the section “Global Health“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Military service is an occupation that confers both health-promoting and health-compromising factors over the life-course. Understanding the temporal association of these factors over the life-course is important to understanding the public health impact of military service and to guide future public health prevention strategies to reduce the risk of adverse health outcomes. This includes understanding any important racial/ethnic and sex health disparities in this diverse population.
This Special Issue seeks research papers on various aspects of Military Service Members’ and Veterans’ Health. We encourage submissions related to military occupational risks both during and after service, health systems, and health economics. We welcome original research papers using different study designs as well as systematic reviews and meta-analysis.
