Needs of Spouse Carers of World War II Veterans

The overall aim of this project was to compare the health and use of health services of women in their 70’s and 80’s who are DVA Gold Card holders, or wives of DVA Gold Card holders, with similarly aged women in the general community who have no connections with DVA. The Centre for Military and Veterans’ Health (CMVH) conducted this project, with the data sourced from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH) which includes a random sample of over 10,000 women born 1921-26.
