Title and OMB Number: Mental 

Health Issues Among Deployed 

Personnel: Longitudinal Assessment of 

the Resilience of Deployed Sailors and 

Marines—Follow-up; OMB Number 

0703–TBD. 

Needs and Uses: The proposed study 

builds on an existing study assessing the 

prevalence of mental health outcomes 

among Sailors and Marines transitioning 

from the Service, and identifying 

predictors of and changes in mental 

health and resilience over time. DoD 

regulations stipulate that all military 

personnel must receive pre-separation 

counseling no less than 90 days before 

leaving active duty. Enlisted Sailors and 

Marines attending Transition Assistance 

Program (TAP) workshops were invited 

to participate in the current research. As 

part of the baseline component, TAP 

enrollees were surveyed at 12 

installations (8 Navy and 4 Marine 

Corps) during the Summer—Fall 2007 

time frame until the target sample size 

(N = 6000; 3000 in each Service) was 

obtained. Those respondents with high 

combat exposure will be assessed 

through a follow-on survey 6 months 

after separation from Military service, 

when participants have transitioned 

into civilian life. 

Affected Public: Navy and Marine 

Corps personnel who have separated 

from the Military in the six-month 

period following the baseline survey. 

Annual Burden Hours: 1800. 

Number of Respondents: 1800. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 1 hour. 

Frequency: One time. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

This study population is unique 

because there is a need for longitudinal 

mental health research in the Military 

that spans both Active Duty and the 

period of reintegration into civilian life 

after combat exposure. Through the 

study’s longitudinal tracking of subjects 

after their return to civilian life, this 

will also be the first research effort to 

examine the prospective value of the 

recently implemented Post-Deployment 

Health Reassessment (PDHRA). 

Furthermore, with our access to the 

Career History Archival Medical and 

Personnel System (CHAMPS) database 

for personnel and medical records, it is 

possible to compare both confidential 

PDHRA responses obtained for research 

purposes with PDHRA responses 

obtained for official purposes to 

determine the degree of underreporting 

in this official screening effort. Findings 

will be used to better inform transition,
