SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Authority: 38 U.S.C. 527.
    Title: Accelerated Aging among Vietnam-Era Veterans Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 2900--NEW.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Abstract: The National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD) was recently 
allocated funds by Congress to be used for research to advance the 
prevention and treatment of PTSD. The original language of the 
legislation states the following: ``The committee recognizes the 
importance of the VA National Center for PTSD in promoting better 
prevention, diagnoses, and treatment of PTSD.'' In response to this, we 
have developed a study that aims to understand how and the degree to 
which warzone deployment is associated with increased morbidity and 
mortality, with particular attention to potential differences among 
white, black, and Hispanic Veterans, as well as male and female 
Veterans. To this end, we will consider multiple aspects of military 
service, deployment experiences, and current stressors of Vietnam-era 
Veterans in relation to current physical and mental health outcomes. 
This information will directly inform intervention efforts aimed at 
prevention or treatment of chronic disorders such as PTSD, depression, 
and substance/alcohol use disorders, as well as comorbid physical 
health conditions, particularly in underserved portions of our Veteran 
population. This type of information can inform system-wide 
interventions that can maximize Veterans' likelihood of receiving 
timely and evidence-based healthcare, thereby preventing long-term 
health problems.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information was published at 83 FR 31255 on July 3, 2018, pages 31255 
and 31256.
