Gulf War Women's Health Cohort

Abstract

The objectives of this study are: 1) To establish the Gulf War Women's Cohort (GWWC), a large sample of women veterans who served in the 1990-1991 Gulf War and a comparison group of women who served in other locations during that period; and 2) To provide current, comprehensive data on the health status of women who served during the 1990-1991 Gulf War, and identify any specific conditions that affect GW women veterans at excess rates. The specific aims are: 1) To assemble the GWWC from data collected from women veterans who participated in previous and ongoing population studies of GW era veterans; 2) To conduct a multimodal health survey to provide data on the current health status of women who served during the 1991 GW era and comparisons between GW deployed veterans and non-deployed GW era veterans; 3) To provide comprehensive data on veteran-reported pregnancy and birth outcomes among GW and GW era women veterans; 4) To evaluate GWI and other high interest health outcomes in women veteran subgroups, including subgroups identified by (i) deployment characteristics.
