An increasing percentage of the active-duty and reserve uniformed services force are women, and they are the fastest growing population in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Additionally, the VHA is one of the largest providers of gender-affirming care in the United States. Asking about a patient's military service and being aware of the unique health and reproductive health care needs of this population are critically important. Members of these populations may be at increased risk for a variety of health-related issues, including intimate partner violence, a history of military sexual trauma, and other health conditions. This Committee Statement highlights the unique reproductive and other health needs of and special considerations for women and gender-diverse current and former active-duty and reserve uniform service members.
越来越多的现役和预备役军警人员为女性，且她们是退伍军人事务管理局（VHA）中增长最快的群体。此外，VHA 是美国提供性别肯定护理服务的最大机构之一。询问患者的兵役情况，并了解这一群体独特的健康和生殖健康护理需求至关重要。这些群体的成员可能面临各种与健康相关的问题的风险增加，包括亲密伴侣暴力、军事性创伤史和其他健康状况。本委员会声明强调了现役和退役军人中女性和性别多样化人员的独特生殖和其他健康需求以及特殊考虑因素。
