She’ll be right…but let’s make sure: What are the considerations for designing a targeted healthcare model for the management of female Australian Defence Force veterans at risk of, or diagnosed with, Post- traumatic stress disorder?

This thesis was grounded in an extensive analysis of publicly available an do pen-source materials, and did not involve the collection of primary data from participants. The research focused on addressing a critical gap in Australia's understanding of veteran mental health—specifically the under-researched needs of female ADF veterans with regard to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Given the policy implications of the study, the research was designed to ensure that all findings were substantiated by objective, verifiable, and publicly accessible evidence.A mixed-methods approach was adopted across four distinct research phases:Systematic Literature ReviewStakeholder and Policy AnalysisReview of Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide (RCDVS)Submissions and FindingsSynthesis and Thematic AnalysisThese phases drew on diverse public sources including peer-reviewed journal articles, government policy documents, institutional reports, and the transcripts and findings from the RCDVS.This file contains a list of all the references used for this thesis including hyperlinked DOIs and URLs.

本论文基于对公开可得及开源资料的全面分析，未涉及从研究参与者处收集原始数据。本研究旨在填补澳大利亚在退伍军人心理健康认知领域的关键空白——具体而言，即针对创伤后应激障碍（Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD）方面研究不足的澳大利亚国防军（Australian Defence Force, ADF）女性退伍军人的需求缺口。鉴于本研究具有政策层面的应用价值，研究设计旨在确保所有研究结论均有客观、可验证且公开可获取的证据支撑。本研究采用混合研究方法，涵盖四个独立的研究阶段：系统文献综述、利益相关者与政策分析、国防与退伍军人自杀皇家委员会（Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide, RCDVS）提交材料与调查结果审查，以及综合分析与主题分析。上述研究阶段依托多种公开数据源开展，包括同行评议期刊论文、政府政策文件、机构报告，以及RCDVS的转录文本与调查结果。本文件包含本论文所用的全部参考文献列表，其中附带超链接形式的数字对象标识符（Digital Object Identifier, DOI）与统一资源定位符（Uniform Resource Locator, URL）。
