2015 Department of Defense Health Related Behaviors Survey (HRBS)

Abstract

The Health Related Behaviors Survey (HRBS) is the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) flagship survey for understanding the health, health-related behaviors, and well-being of service members. The survey includes content areas such as alcohol, tobacco, and substance use, as well as mental and physical health, sexual behavior, and post deployment problems that may affect force readiness or the ability to meet the demands of military life. The Defense Health Agency asked the RAND Corporation to review previous iterations of the HRBS, update survey content, administer a revised version of the survey, and analyze data from the resulting 2015 HRBS of active-duty personnel in the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard.
