In a study in the Nov. 14, 2007 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Army medical officials examined increased Soldier-reported mental-health concerns in mandatory post-deployment health screenings. The study found that between the initial Post-Deployment Health Assessment and the Post-Deployment Health Re-assessment three to six months later, Soldiers are more likely to report signs of post-combat stress and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The study is available on the JAMA website.
