Impact of Physician Attitudes on Healthcare in Veterans with Gulf War Illness

Beatrice Golomb, MD, PhD is conducting a study that will assess how perceived attitudes of healthcare providers affect veterans with Gulf War illness. The study will examine psychological impact, the veteran’s trust in and return for care to the provider and healthcare system, and the nature of the care is given.

We are enrolling Gulf War veterans who:

1. Participated in the 1990-91 Persian Gulf War

2. Are experiencing symptoms that could include (but are not limited to) fatigue, muscle or joint pain, muscle weakness, cognitive or mood problems, and/or gastrointestinal problems etc.

Study participation involves:

1. Online surveys - we will inquire about your Gulf War deployment, current health status and interactions with healthcare providers. The surveys will take between 1 hour and 1.5 hours of your time. You can complete the surveys at home using your home computer.

2. Compensation of $40 (Visa Gift Card) for your time and effort will be provided upon completion of the survey.
