separated Veterans in their transition
and reintegration into civilian life?
To answer this question, The Veterans
Metrics Initiative will use a longitudinal
study design to assess the well-being of
a large sample of transitioning Veterans
over time, while simultaneously
examining the extent and range of
program use by these Veterans over the
same period. Because individual
programs are numerous, widespread
and often alike in design and service
delivery, TVMI focuses specific and
unique attention on program
‘‘components’’ as drivers of change.
‘‘Components’’ are defined as design
and delivery elements that may be
shared across multiple distinct
programs separated geographically,
administratively, or by their funding
sources, but which exhibit undeniable
similarities in their manner of approach
to providing help. Simply, put, common
components are techniques, strategies,
or features used as part of a program.
Components within programs include:
(a) Knowledge (e.g., problem solving
and coping skills); (b) process (e.g.,
mode: Online and face-to-face; method:
Direct instruction and modeling); (c)
barrier reduction (e.g., tangible support);
and (d) sustainability components (e.g.,
social support and referrals).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
