Further, female Veterans have slightly more years of formal education, are slightly more affluent, have slightly larger households and are more apt to live in the western and southern states; but that relative to "need" characteristics (perceived health and activity limitation), female Veterans and non-Veterans were statistically similar (Romeis, et al, 1991, p. 934).

Such that, the study found that predictors of female Veterans' use of overall health services were not significantly different than predictors of female non-Veterans' use of health services (Romeis, et al, 1991, 935).
