Beginning July 31, 2017, a Mental Health Assessment will now be part of every annual Periodic Health Assessment (PHA) to help ensure Airmen suffering from undiagnosed mental health issues are referred to the necessary care. The questions included in the MHA are the same ones Airmen see on their pre- and post-deployment health screenings. Completing the annual MHA can even substitute for specific post-deployment screenings. Airmen will continue to fill out the DD Form 3024 online for their annual PHA. Members of the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve will begin the annual MHA later in August. Airmen can monitor their individual medical readiness using their MyIMR page.
