摘要：

. Objective: Explore the mental health differences of student veterans by sexual orientation. Participants: Student service members/veterans (N = 702) from the Fall 2011 National College Health Assessment. Methods: Descriptive statistics and 2-sample proportion and mean tests were used to compare mental health characteristics. Results: Student veterans who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or unsure had higher levels of mental health symptoms and treatment. Conclusions: Results suggest a need for continued examination of student service members/veterans as related to disparities in mental health by sexual orientation.
