Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Aim – Identify risk and protective factors for functional impairment in post-9/11 Veterans during initial reentry into civilian life. Relevance – Reports of functional problems are common among Veterans who served post-9/11.

J Rehabil Res Dev. 2014;51(3):415–28. Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Results Posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms (assessed before and after military separation): – Significantly predicted functional difficulties across all domains except unlawful behavior. Unlawful behavior and activity limitations due to mental health symptoms: – Predicted by other or additional predictors.
