The percentages of participants in 2013 Wounded Warrior Project Survey (PDF), who reported suffering from PTSD, anxiety and depression, respectively. This annual survey of Wounded Warrior Project alumni is designed "to identify trends..., to compare their outcomes with those of other military populations, and to measure the impact and mix of WWP services and programs". In the 2013 survey of roughly 12,000 WWP alumni injured in Iraq and Afghanistan, PTSD, anxiety and depression were identified as the most common service-connected injuries and health problems; the fourth most commonly reported condition was "severe back, neck, or shoulder problems," in 57.4% of survey participants.
