Army Releases Mental Health Survey Results

Week of January 01, 2007

The Department of the Army has released the results of the third Mental Health Advisory Team, which traveled to Iraq during October and November 2005 to assess the behavioral health requirements of soldiers in theater, and how well medical services are meeting those requirements. The Mental Health Advisory Team III Report's key findings included: (1) soldiers were more likely than those in previous studies to report more intense and predictable combat experiences as a result of the use of improvised explosive devices; (2) the top non-combat stressors were deployment length and family separation. For more information, read the Mental Health Advisory Team III Report.
