For more than 20 years, the DoD has collected information regarding behavioral and health readiness of active duty military personnel through the Survey of Health Related Behaviors Among Military Personnel (Survey). In 2005, DoD initiated the ¿Dept. of Defense Lifestyle Assessment Program,¿ which incorporates the active-duty health behaviors study and expands the scope to include the National Guard and Reserves, as well as other special studies, the first of which will examine unit-level influences on alcohol and tobacco use. The 2005 Survey has two broad aims for active duty military personnel: (1) to continue the survey of substance use; and (b) to assess progress toward selected ¿Healthy People 2010¿ objectives. Charts and tables.
This report presents the primary results of the 2005 Department of Defense (DoD) Survey of Health-Related Behaviors among Active Duty Military Personnel. This study is the 9th in a series of surveys of active-duty military personnel conducted in 1980, 1982, 1985, 1988, 1992, 1995, 1998, 2002, and 2005 under the direction of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs). All of the surveys investigated the prevalence of alcohol use, illicit drug use, and tobacco use, as well as negative consequences associated with substance use. The 1985 through 1992 surveys also covered an expanded set of health behaviors and related issues. In 1995 and 1998, health behavior questions were revised and items were added to assess selected "Healthy People 2000" objectives. In addition, questions were added to examine the mental health of the active force, specific health concerns of military women and military men, oral health, and gambling behaviors. The 2002 and 2005 surveys continued the general focus of the 1998 survey and expanded it to include "Healthy People 2010" objectives. They also augmented the items on exercise, nutrition, and mental health and added new items on dietary supplement use, risk taking and impulsive behavior, job satisfaction, deployment, and religiosity/spirituality. The final sample consisted of 16,146 military personnel (3,639 Army, 4,627 Navy, 3,356 Marine Corps, and 4,524 Air Force) who completed self-administered questionnaires anonymously. Following an introductory chapter, chapters are as follows: (2) Methodology of the 2005 DoD Active Duty Survey; (3) Overview of Trends in Substance Use and "Healthy People 2010" Objectives; (4) Alcohol Use; (5) Illicit Drug Use; (6) Tobacco Use; (7) Healthy Lifestyles and Disease Prevention; (8) Health Behavior and Health Promotion; (9) Stress and Mental Health; and (10) Other Health-Related Issues in the Military. The report includes 137 tables.

From the stresses of repeated deployments to the difficulties of re-entry into civilian life, we are just beginning to understand how protracted conflicts, such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan, are affecting service members. Issues such as risky health behaviors and chemical dependence raise productivity concerns as they do with all organizations, but they also have a profound impact on the safety and readiness of troops--and by extension, the military as a whole--in life-or-death situations. Understanding Military Workforce Productivity cuts through the myths and misconceptions about the health and resilience of today's active-duty armed forces. This first-of-its-kind volume presents up-to-date findings across service branches in core health areas including illness and injury, alcohol and drug abuse, tobacco use, obesity, and mental health. The short- and long-term implications discussed relate to the quality of the lives of service members and their families, the quality and preparedness of the military as a workforce, and prevention and intervention efforts. The book: Presents data from ten large-scale health behavior surveys sponsored by the Department of Defense. Offers background context for understanding health and behavioral health and productivity among service members. Introduces a health and behavioral health model of productivity loss in the armed forces. Compares key indicators of substance abuse, health, and mental health in military and civilian populations. Reviews approaches for improving military productivity. Identifies areas for further study. Understanding Military Workforce Productivity offers a rare close-up of health issues in the services, making it an invaluable source of information for practitioners and researchers in mental health, substance abuse, health behaviors, and military behavioral health.
"While fighting a war is what service members are prepared and trained for, it also places heavy burdens on them and their families as they face long separations and put their lives and their health at risk. The 2011 Health Related Behaviors Survey of Active Duty Military Personnel (HRB) report presents findings on the health of the Armed Forces, including Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard active duty personnel. The 2011 HRB offers valuable insight into the overall state of behavioral health of active duty personnel and identifies areas of strength and success as well as areas of concern to best inform policies and programs to effectively address the needs of service members and their families."--Executive summary, page ES-1.
The Department of Defense today announced the final results of its 1998 worldwide survey of health behaviors among military personnel. The report shows that the usage of alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs are at the lowest rates since the surveys began measuring certain health-related behaviors in 1980. This survey is the seventh in the series of confidential, anonymous standardized surveys which asks active duty servicemembers about various health behaviors, including the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and at-risk sexual behavior. The survey also assesses selected national health status goals from the Department of Health and Human Services' Healthy People 2000 objectives, the mental health status of the force, and specific health concerns of military women. More than 17,000 servicemembers, randomly selected to represent men and women in all pay grades of the active force throughout the world, completed the survey. "When comparing this 1998 report to our earliest survey results, we recognize tremendous improvements in the past 18 years. Our continued emphasis on health promotion safety, and disease prevention will help our servicemembers achieve personal best performances and force readiness," said Dr. Sue Bailey, assistant secretary of Defense for Health Affairs.
