• In Event: Positive and Strengths-Based Approaches to Understanding Trauma and Mental Health

Abstract

This research proposes an investigation into the relationship between demographic factors and veterans' social integration and contribution using data from the Military Health and Well-Being Project, United States, 2020 (ICPSR 38304). By analyzing a nationally representative dataset, this study aims to elucidate how demographic variables such as age, income, and marital status influence veterans' social well-being. Methodologically, the study will employ multivariate analysis techniques, including multiple regression modeling, to assess the unique contributions of demographic factors while controlling for potential confounding variables. Expected outcomes include actionable insights that can inform the design of targeted interventions and support programs tailored to the specific needs of diverse veteran populations, thereby promoting greater social cohesion and well-being within the veteran community and society at large.
