Sincere thanks are extended to the many people who contributed to the study, by meeting with consultants, providing information and literature, completing questionnaires and surveys, participating in focus groups, and assisting with setting up interviews.
In particular, we would like to thank the 60 veterans who agreed to be interviewed, and shared their stories. Their contribution has been invaluable.
