Abstract
The U.S. deployment of service members to combat zones within Iraq and Afghanistan has resulted in physical and mental disabilities for over a third of the 2.6 million veterans of these operations. Veterans report difficulty reintegrating into the community, and display higher rates of unemployment and homelessness than nonveterans. This study aims to investigate OIF/OEF veterans and assess the relationship between Quality of Life (QOL) and the demographic and disability characteristics of the population. Eighty-six predominantly white male veterans from urban areas completed the Quality of Life Scale. Significant effects were found for relationship status, employment, income level, and disability status. Implications for rehabilitation counselors are presented and discussed.
