Risk and Resilience Factors for Combat-Related Posttraumatic Psychopathology and Post Combat Adjustment
Abstract
Previously conducted research has demonstrated that deployment accompanied by combat experience results in increased risk of posttraumatic psychopathology and other mental health conditions. The general objective of the Ohio Army National Guard Mental Health Initiative is to create a research infrastructure capable of supporting a series of projects that evaluate the relationships between resilience and risk factors, both crosssectionally and longitudinally, before, during, and after deployment. The primary project will collect long-term data on a random representative sample of up to 3,000 service members of the Ohio Army National Guard, both treatment seeking and non-treatment seeking. Research visits will be conducted at study entry and every 12 months for a minimum of 10 years. The Telephone Survey will be completed on all main project participants, and 500 of these participants will also have an in-depth In-Person Survey on an annual basis for the duration of the study. The Genetics Repository component collects a DNA saliva sample from consenting participants in the main project.
