At least one major symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
was reported by about 20 percent of 1,114 women in the U.S. Air Force
deployed during the Iraq War, says a University of Michigan study that
found a link between PTSD and work-family conflict.
The women in the survey (74.2 percent enlisted, 25.8 percent officers) were deployed at least once since March 19, 2003. About 62 percent of them were deployed in a theater of war. The study authors found that women who experienced higher levels of family-work conflict were more likely to have symptoms of anxiety and depression. They were also less likely to feel they could cope with daily demands and responsibilities.
