Military Exposures and Mental, Behavioral, and Neurologic Health Outcomes Among Post-9/11 Veterans

Join the RAND Epstein Family Veterans Policy Research Institute for a discussion of the recent National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report, Exploring Military Exposures and Mental, Behavioral, and Neurologic Health Outcomes Among Post-9/11 Veterans.

The report examines potential connections between service-related exposures—such as open burn pits and particulate matter—and a range of mental, behavioral, and neurologic conditions, including depression, anxiety, and dementia.

During this online event, members of the National Academies committee and subject-matter experts will review key findings, explore their significance for Veterans’ health, and discuss how this new evidence can inform future research and support for those who have served.
