Longitudinal Risk and Resilience Factors Predicting Psychiatric Disruption, Mental Health Service Utilization & Military Retention in OIF National Guard Troops

Abstract

This report describes progress towards completing a 4-wave longitudinal cohort study of predeployment risk and resilience factors predictive of post-deployment levels of mental health disruptions, mental health service utilization, and military retention and attrition over time. Using standard mail survey methodology, Wave 2 self-report measures have been gathered from 76% of the Baseline/Wave 1 cohort with response bias appearing minimal. Implementation of evidenced-based longitudinal recruitment and retention methods are described.
