Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
The role of female soldiers has expanded into the realm of hostile environments. In the current military arena, nearly everyone is vulnerable to attack at any given time and female soldiers may even be singled out and targeted by enemy combatants.
Women are more likely to suffer childhood abuse or other types of trauma compared to men. Survivors of multiple traumas may experience cumulative effects from re-victimization. These individuals may be less resilient and more vulnerable to develop psychiatric disorders including depression, PTSD, and other anxiety disorders. Questions related to their perception of military support or their safety in general is not related to assessing for the conditions mentioned.
