The Department of Defense has released key findings from the latest Mental Health Advisory Team (MHAT-IV) survey, which assessed more than 1,300 Soldiers and nearly 450 Marines. Some significant findings include: (1) Soldiers who deployed longer (greater than six months) or had deployed multiple times were more likely to screen positive for a mental health issue; (2) deployment length was directly linked to morale problems in the Army; (3) leadership is key to maintaining Soldier and Marine mental health. The MHAT IV report is available on the Army Medicine website. A new Army Behavioral Health website informational and instructional materials related to Soldiers' mental health.
