Timeline of important events in our study. Solid arrows indicate fixed study start and end points. The solid double-headed arrow indicates the time period during which an end of index deployment qualifies an individual as member of our cohort. Fading bars indicate events that vary between service members. NPT exposure and chronic pain were determined between the end of the index deployment and VHA enrollment or the end of the MHS window, whichever came first.
