VA/DoD CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELIN-PTSD

In addition to alcohol and drug use, persons with PTSD are at high risk for cigarette smoking (Acierno et al., 1996) and obesity (Vieweg et al., 2006). PTSD is a predictor of several HIV-risk behaviors as well as a risk factor for related blood-borne infections, such as hepatitis B and C (Hutton et al., 2001). ................
