This study examined differences in public knowledge and attitudes about homelessness and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among US Veterans and other adults. A national online survey of 541 US adults from the general population was conducted in November 2016 about knowledge and attitudes about homelessness and PTSD both in reference to the general population and the Veteran population. Results found that participants reported more positive attitudes and endorsed more federal funding for homelessness and PTSD for Veterans than other adults. Participants also reported greater safety concerns about PTSD among Veterans than other adults. Among various background characteristics, only political identification with the Republican party was consistently associated with attitudes in favor of Veterans. The US public reports greater support for addressing homelessness and PTSD among Veterans than other adults, supporting various government and private programs dedicated to Veterans. It is important that publicly supported programs and policies must be evaluated.
本研究调查了美国退伍军人和其他成年人在关于无家可归和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的公众知识及态度方面的差异。2016年11月，针对541名来自美国普通人群的成年人开展了一项全国性在线调查，内容涉及对普通人群和退伍军人人群中无家可归及创伤后应激障碍的知识和态度。结果发现，与其他成年人相比，参与者对退伍军人的无家可归和创伤后应激障碍表现出更积极的态度，并支持为退伍军人提供更多联邦资金。参与者还表示，比起其他成年人，他们对退伍军人中的创伤后应激障碍更担心安全问题。在各种背景特征中，只有与共和党的政治认同始终与支持退伍军人的态度相关。美国公众表示，比起其他成年人，他们更支持解决退伍军人的无家可归和创伤后应激障碍问题，这为致力于退伍军人的各种政府和私人项目提供了支持。对得到公众支持的项目和政策进行评估很重要。
