Annotated Bibliography #3

Hoge, Charles. Mental Health Problems, Use of Mental Health Services, and Attrition From Military Service After Returning From Deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. Journal of the American Medical Association, March 2006.

This article focuses on the population-level screening for mental health problems among all service members returning from Iraq, Afghanistan, and other locations. Army soldiers and Marines are the participants of this experiment. They screen them for PTSD, and other mental health problems. All returning military personal were required to complete a brief Post Deployment Health Assessment. I will look at the results of these tests, as well as their efficiency. This article also gives referral to mental health care and rates of utilization of mental health services. I will also use these statistics in my paper.
