Previous research investigating the impact of postwar experiences on Vietnam veterans has focused on veteran morbidity. This emphasis has meant that the impact of these factors on treatment-seeking behavior has received little empirical attention. This study examined the association between postwar factors and treatment-seeking behavior in a sample of 692 Australian Vietnam veterans. Logistic regression analyses were used to compute the odds ratios associated with postwar experiences and self-referral to a community-based counselling service. Results suggest that veterans who reported experiencing negative feelings toward others when they first arrived home were more likely to seek treatment. Other factors, such as a veteran's perception of societal attitudes and the reception they received, were not associated with treatment-seeking behavior.
