Title and OMB Number: Mental
Health Issues Among Deployed
Personnel: Longitudinal Assessment of
the Resilience of Deployed Sailors and
Marines—Follow-up; OMB Number
0703–TBD.
Needs and Uses: The proposed study
builds on an existing study assessing the
prevalence of mental health outcomes
among Sailors and Marines transitioning
from the Service, and identifying
predictors of and changes in mental
health and resilience over time. DoD
regulations stipulate that all military
personnel must receive pre-separation
counseling no less than 90 days before
leaving active duty. Enlisted Sailors and
Marines attending Transition Assistance
Program (TAP) workshops were invited
to participate in the current research. As
part of the baseline component, TAP
enrollees were surveyed at 12
installations (8 Navy and 4 Marine
Corps) during the Summer—Fall 2007
time frame until the target sample size
(N = 6000; 3000 in each Service) was
obtained. Those respondents with high
combat exposure will be assessed
through a follow-on survey 6 months
after separation from Military service,
when participants have transitioned
into civilian life.
Affected Public: Navy and Marine
Corps personnel who have separated
from the Military in the six-month
period following the baseline survey.
Annual Burden Hours: 1800.
Number of Respondents: 1800.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency: One time.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
This study population is unique
because there is a need for longitudinal
mental health research in the Military
that spans both Active Duty and the
period of reintegration into civilian life
after combat exposure. Through the
study’s longitudinal tracking of subjects
after their return to civilian life, this
will also be the first research effort to
examine the prospective value of the
recently implemented Post-Deployment
Health Reassessment (PDHRA).
Furthermore, with our access to the
Career History Archival Medical and
Personnel System (CHAMPS) database
for personnel and medical records, it is
possible to compare both confidential
PDHRA responses obtained for research
purposes with PDHRA responses
obtained for official purposes to
determine the degree of underreporting
in this official screening effort. Findings
will be used to better inform transition,

screening, and Combat Stress Control
programs about the mental health needs
of Active-Duty personnel, Reservists,
and Veterans.
The baseline questionnaire includes a
Combat Exposure Scale used to estimate
high combat exposure and to inform
participants who exceed a
predetermined score that they are
eligible for the second phase of study
and request their participation in the
follow-up interviews. NHRC proposes
tracking over time these respondents for
the longitudinal portion of the study.
Furthermore, the subsequent mental
well-being of this high-risk cohort will
be assessed through these new data
collected 6 months after the participants
of the baseline survey have transitioned
to civilian life. Data from extant
historical personnel and medical data
will also be combined with survey data
to develop models that demonstrate the
influence of combat, and a variety of
covariates on mental health symptoms,
resilience, and substance abuse. We
estimate that approximately 1,800 of the
6,000 baseline participants will be
eligible for and consent to participate in
the 6 month follow-up survey. In order
to ensure that we can locate these
respondents, the questionnaire will
include name, relocation plans, names
and contact information for two friends
or relatives who always know where the
respondent is living, and the
respondent’s date of birth and social
security number. The follow-up surveys
will be sent to respondents through the
mail. Respondents will also have the
option of completing this survey via the
Web, which will closely simulate the
hardcopy version of the instrument.
Approximately 15% of Military
personnel are women. Therefore, it is
estimated that 15% will be the
proportion of women completing the
survey; the remaining 85% will be male
respondents.
