National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study

The National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study (NVVRS) was a comprehensive research project conducted in the 1980s to assess the mental health and well-being of U.S. Vietnam War veterans. It aimed to identify the prevalence of issues like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and other psychological challenges among veterans. By analyzing data from thousands of veterans, the study provided valuable insights into the long-term effects of war on mental health, informing public policy, healthcare services, and support programs for veterans.
