Abstract
This is a focused review of the most current publications and direct experiences of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) among veteran women and the lasting impact on this population's mental and physical health. This review covers the span of the last 5 years (2018-2023). Additionally, the review seeks to fill a gap in the literature to understand better how and if veteran women who have experienced MST use social media and online talk to form meaningful connections. A total of 13 studies were included in the final review. This review found many studies (5) further investigated the roles of gender, race, and interpersonal relationships in relation to MST experiences. This review did not find any current publications that sought to understand MST experiences that women veterans have shared through social media platforms. This type of online research in the future could help provide valuable new insight into the unique needs of MST survivors.
