SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Survey of Post-Deployment Adjustment Among OEF and OIF 
Veterans, VA Form 10-21089.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-New (10-21089).
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Abstract: The data collected on VA Form 10-21089 will be used to 
access health conditions, occupational, family and social adjustment 
and functioning of veterans who were deployed to Afghanistan and/or 
Iraq. The goal is to identify the gender-specific treatment needs of 
OEF and OIF veterans with an emphasis on the needs of female veterans 
who experienced war zone stressor beyond traditional combat and sexual 
trauma during deployment. VA will use the data to identify how 
homecoming experiences (healthcare, relationship and parenting 
readjustment) differently affect male and female veterans.
