Provide guidance for engaging military veterans in various research teams to help overcome veterans' lack of trust in research. We draw from our combined experience to present four case studies of veteran research on sensitive topics to illustrate successful engagement with veterans. For each case example, we describe veterans' contributions at different phases of research. We then share practical guidance for realizing benefits and overcoming challenges of engaging veterans in research at each phase. In our experience, successful engagement has built trust by aligning research with participants' own experience as veterans. Investigators wishing to engage veterans in research may benefit from the lessons presented through these case studies.
为将退役军人纳入不同的研究团队提供指导，以帮助克服退役军人对研究的不信任。我们结合自身经验，提出了 4 个有关敏感话题的退役军人研究案例，来说明与退役军人成功合作的情况。对于每个案例，我们都描述了退役军人在研究不同阶段的贡献。然后，我们分享了在每个阶段让退役军人参与研究并从中获益及克服挑战的实用建议。根据我们的经验，通过使研究与参与者作为退役军人的自身经验保持一致，成功的合作建立了信任。希望让退役军人参与研究的调查人员可以从这些案例研究中吸取经验。
