This paper presents the measurement of the socioeconomic development of the populations of the municipios of Brazil's Amazonia Legal for 1970 and 1980, the only years for which appropriate data yet exist, and applies it to the widely held, but previously untested, hypothesis that claims that large-scale investment in the frontier land called "Amazonia", an extreme extractive periphery, reduces the socioeconomic levels of the people.

© Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S. All rights reserved. Veterans returning from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) have been found to be at increased risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorders, leading to negative mental health–related quality of life (MHRQoL). The current study examined the unique impact of alcohol consumption levels versus alcohol-related consequences on the relationship between PTSD symptoms and MHRQoL in a sample of OEF/OIF combat veterans (N = 205, median age 29, 95% men). Mediation analyses indicated that the effect of PTSD symptoms on MHRQoL was explained only by alcohol-related consequences and not by alcohol consumption. Findings highlight the importance of including alcohol-related consequences in clinical assessment and intervention programs for OEF/OIF veterans. Additionally, this study enhances knowledge regarding the underlying mechanisms of functional impairment related to PTSD and alcohol use disorders.
