Health Impact of U.S. Military Service in a Large Population-based Military Cohort: Findings of the Millennium Cohort Study, 2001-2008

Abstract

Concerns over potential lasting effects of deployment on long-term health continue to mount. The Millennium Cohort Study is designed to help answer many of these long-term health-related questions. Over 150,000 active-duty, reserve, and National Guard personnel from all service branches have enrolled, and over 70% of the first 2 enrollment panels submitted at least 1 follow-up survey. Approximately half of the Cohort has deployed in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Millennium Cohort Study is providing prospective data that will guide public health policymakers for years to come by exploring associations between military exposures and important health outcomes.
