We also examined rates of psychiatric comorbidity and health care utilization of veterans with headache disorders for the year following the date of the first headache code in the medical record. Of the total population of veterans in the network, 1.3% had a headache disorder and another 3.5% had a possible headache disorder. Migraine and chronic migraine represented the majority of cases. Posttraumatic stress disorder was the most frequent psychiatric comorbidity. Having a headache disorder was associated with higher rates of primary care, neurology, pain clinic, and mental health service use but not higher rates of emergency department or Whole Health (e.g., patient-centered, holistic health services) use. Prevalence findings are comparable to those previously found among veterans, but a substantial proportion of veterans may have been misdiagnosed. Veterans with headache disorders have high rates of psychiatric comorbidity and use several types of health services at higher rates. Findings highlight the need for interdisciplinary care and further education and support for primary care providers. Primary care settings that integrate evidence-based behavioral and Whole Health services may be an optimal way of providing more holistic care for headache disorders.</p>","PeriodicalId":55395,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"269-278"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10245632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We test this association within the context of the highly rural state of Arkansas. By January 2022, the US had set a global record of nearly 1 million daily cases. The purpose of this study was to advance our understanding of vaccine hesitancy among those who have already received a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and how that hesitancy may shape COVID-19 booster uptake. We analyzed data from a random sample survey of Arkansan adults (<i>N</i> = 2,201) between March 1 and March 28, 2022 and constrained our analytical sample to those who had received a vaccine (<i>N</i> = 1,649). Nearly two-thirds of vaccinated Arkansas residents had received a COVID-19 booster. Hesitancy was common even among vaccinated individuals and was significantly associated with reduced odds of COVID-19 booster uptake, even after controlling for other factors. Findings provide further support for conceptualizing vaccine hesitancy as an attitude related to-but separate from-the behavior of vaccination, as opposed to conflating vaccination with being nonhesitant.
