The current study examined differences in the protective properties of perceived social support from (1) military personnel and (2) civilians, regarding substance use and perceived substance abuse for combat veterans experiencing chronic pain. We hypothesized that higher endorsement of both types of perceived social support would be associated with lower odds of self-reported, perceived substance abuse, and support from military personnel would be associated with lower odds of perceived substance abuse after controlling for the role of non-military social support.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>The current study evaluated military personnel who were deployed to a combat zone for more than 1 month. Participants completed an online, anonymous survey including questions regarding experiences with chronic pain, cannabis, and illegal substance use, their beliefs regarding alcohol or prescription pill abuse, and their perceived military and non-military social support. We conducted a series of binary logistic regressions to evaluate whether perceived military and non-military social support predicted the odds of endorsing substance use, with several sociodemographic variables and chronic pain entered as covariates for each model. The Auburn University Institutional Review Board approved all study procedures.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Contrary to our hypotheses, participants reporting higher levels of non-military social support were more likely to endorse using cannabis or other illegal substances and report perceived alcohol or prescription medication abuse, even when controlling for sociodemographic and chronic pain covariates.

Our findings may be because of combat veterans engaging in social drinking with members of their support system or utilizing substances for pain management purposes, but more research is needed on this topic.

The most prominent environmental consideration in aeromedical evacuation (AE) is the impact of changes in barometric pressure on oxygen delivery and gas expansion. However, the hypobaric and hypoxic environment sustained by critically ill patients in flight can cause lung injury, leading to hypoxemia, which remains one of the few limiting factors for AE.
