Description

While extensive research has addressed the prevalence and range of health issues affecting Gulf War veterans, it has been marked by definitional, methodological, and political issues, and has thus far failed to yield a clear definitive treatment for Gulf War Syndrome (GWS). This book is based on the survey and research which indicates a significant correlation between toxicant exposure in the Gulf War and a decline in service members physical functioning and emotional well-being. The results indicate the need for further study on these topics, and corresponding recommendations for future research and changes to policies that are currently in place for Gulf War Veterans.
