Description
Stuti Dang and co-authors describe the unmet needs of older female veterans in the United States and compare them with men's. Women are a small share of VA patients, and their needs in later life are poorly charted. Their 2023 paper uses the first round of the HERO CARE survey, which drew over eight thousand replies from community-dwelling veterans across several VA centers.
Only a few hundred replies came from women, who were younger on average than the men. A veteran counted as having an unmet need if they said they needed more help with a medical, mental, or social task. The comparisons show where women's gaps differ from men's. VA planners get a first map for tailoring support to aging women veterans.
