VA surveyed almost 10,000 veterans to see how they were doing the first year after service in areas of health and well-being.  The focus was on that critical first year after separation and looks at reintegration.  The survey asked about physical health, mental health, intimate relations, work, family, enlisted/officers, deployed vs non deployed, etc.  Dr. Dawne Vogt was a principle researcher and talks to host Jim Fausone about the results.  Dawne is with Boston University School of Medicine and VA Boston Healthcare System. The results of the survey are interesting.  While health was a concern for about 50% of the vets and mental health a concern for 33% or so, the veterans also reported that 68% were employed, doing well and overall well-being was better than anticipated.
