The Soldier Medic Mettle Study

Abstract

This study forges the existing gap in the literature on military health care providers by focusing solely on Combat Medics. Medics serve a vital role in the OEF/OIF theatres, yet, there is a paucity of research on Combat Medics. The overall purpose of the study was to conduct a behavioral health assessment among Combat Medics, to determine what factors account for resiliency among combat medics, and if resiliency is static, wanes, or cycles over time. The study incorporates a mixed-methods, prospective longitudinal design utilizing US Army Combat Medics.
