Type of Review: New collection.
Abstract: This collection effort is the
second phase of the PSTAP and
participants are respondents of the
original collection under the subject
control number approved on 4 Apr 19.
The PSTAP Longitudinal Survey will be

of participation in TAP courses on the
long-term outcomes of Veterans in the

education, health and social
relationships, financial, social
connectivity and overall satisfaction and
well-being, and; (3) identifying areas of
improvement for TAP and the broader
transition process to guide training and/

caregivers.
