Mental Health and Resilience: Soldiers' Perceptions about Psychotherapy, Medication, and Barriers to Care in the United States Military
Abstract
This study aims to examine beliefs about mental health care, perceived barriers to care and stigma, mental health resilience, and healthcare utilization in soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. This report covers the first year of the grant (September 15, 2008-September 14, 2009). Research activities have not yet begun as internal review board approval at all appropriate institutional sites is still being sought. Approval has been received with the Yale University Human Investigation Committee. Contingent approval has been received with the Fort Detrick Human Research Protection Office, which allows the study staff to seek approval at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The project is almost ready to be submitted to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Once approval is received there the project will be submitted to the VA Human Studies Subcommittee at the West Haven, CT VA. All efforts are being made to gain approval as quickly as possible so that research activities can begin.
