The COVID-19 pandemic has led to economic turndowns, social restrictions, and family life alterations. The stress induced by the public health crisis and its consequences are beginning to be explored. This study examined stress experiences since the pandemic'sonset in work, financial, social, and health domainsamong a large sample of post-9/11, United States military veterans. The sample, who separated from active-duty service or deactivated from active status in a reserve component in 2016, completed an online survey (n = 3180) in 2020. Participants were 70% White non-Hispanic, 81% male, and had an average age of 38 years. Frequencies and descriptive statistics were calculated. Female veterans and veterans of colour reported significantly higher levels of stress across most life domains. The results suggest White, male, post-9/11 veterans may be somewhat protected from COVID-19 stress, but that the pandemic is exacerbatinghealth and social disparities experienced by post-9/11 veterans of colour and female veterans. Supports and comprehensive care, particularly targeted towardsat-risk populations, are likely needed to provide sufficient resources for resiliency during and after the pandemic.

COVID-19 对 9/11 后退伍军人心理压力的不同影响：性别、种族和民族

COVID-19 大流行导致经济衰退、社会限制和家庭生活改变。人们开始探讨公共卫生危机带来的压力及其后果。这项研究调查了 9/11 事件后美国退伍军人的大量样本，调查了自疫情爆发以来在工作、财务、社会和健康领域的压力经历。该样本于 2016 年脱离现役部队或退出预备役部队现役状态，并于 2020 年完成了一项在线调查（n  = 3180）。参与者中 70% 是非西班牙裔白人，81% 是男性，并且有平均年龄38岁。计算了频率和描述性统计数据。女性退伍军人和有色人种退伍军人报告称，在大多数生活领域都承受着更高的压力。结果表明，9/11 事件后的白人、男性退伍军人可能在一定程度上免受了 COVID-19 压力的影响，但这种流行病正在加剧 9/11 事件后的有色人种退伍军人和女性退伍军人所经历的健康和社会差距。可能需要提供支持和全面护理，特别是针对高危人群，以便为大流行期间和之后的恢复提供足够的资源。
