Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirement is necessary for 

the Naval Health Research Center 

(NHRC) to carry out the research study 

it has been tasked to perform. This 

research study will assess the long-term 

health impact of injury on quality of life 

outcomes in injured tri-service U.S. 

military personnel, with a special focus 

on the effects of traumatic brain injury 

(TBI) and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder 

(PTSD). Information collected will be 

used to investigate the long-term effects 

of injury, TBI, and PTSD on the overall 

physical and psychological health of 

military personnel injured in overseas 

contingency operations. Participants 

will respond to a health-related 

questionnaire bi-annually for three to 

six years. Respondents to this study will 

include both active-duty and separated 

members of all branches of the U.S. 

Armed Forces that have been injured 

and that have indicated a desire to 

participate through an Institutional 

Review Board (IRB)-approved informed 

consent process. 

Affected Public: Current and former 

members of the U.S. Armed Forces that 

have been injured in overseas 

contingency operations and that have 

indicated a desire to participate. 

Annual Burden Hours: 3,096 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 4,644. 

Responses Per Respondent: 2. 

Average Burden Per Response: 20 

minutes. 

Frequency: Bi-annual. 

This information collection is 

necessary for the Naval Health Research 

Center (NHRC) to carry out the research 

study ‘‘TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, 

POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS 

DISORDER, AND LONG-TERM 

QUALITY OF LIFE OUTCOMES IN 

INJURED TRI-SERVICE U.S. MILITARY 

PERSONNEL.’’ NHRC has been tasked 

by the office of Congressionally Directed 

Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) to 

conduct this longitudinal 

epidemiological study. The NHRC team 

will collect information about physical 

and psychological health from members 

of the U.S. Armed Forces that have been 

injured in overseas contingency 

operations by administering a voluntary 

web, phone, or mail survey bi-annually 

for a period of three (3) to six (6) years. 

In all cases, informed consent will be 

obtained prior to survey administration. 

The information collected will be used 

to ascertain the long-term effects of 

traumatic brain injury (TBI), 

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), 

and other injuries on quality of life 

outcomes. Pinpointing the effects of 

these injuries will allow for the 

development of more effective 

treatments and early interventions in 

the management of TBI, PTSD, and 

other injuries sustained by U.S. military 

personnel in overseas contingency 

operations.
