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 81% of the original Baseline/Wave 1 cohort with response bias appearing minimal. Wave 3 data have been collected from 64% of the Wave 1 cohort. A second pre-deployment cohort has been added to this study, with follow up data collection in progress. Results of preliminary data analyses are discussed.
