Lessons Learned for Provisioning and Delivering U.S. Military Behavioral Health Care, 2003-2013

Abstract

The behavioral health demands stemming from the longstanding wars in Iraq and Afghanistan led to significant changes in the provision and delivery of behavioral health care in the U.S. military. The Center for Deployment Psychology (CDP) at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) commissioned the RAND Corporation to conduct interviews with experts to capture lessons learned that could help prepare future military behavioral health providers. RAND reviewed publicly available material to identify events and circumstances that prompted those changes. That material informed the selection of interviewees. This report highlights select events and insights of experts regarding the lessons they learned between 2003 and 2013 about the provision and delivery of military behavioral health care.
