Abstract

The purpose of this proposed cross-sectional study is to investigate the interplay between musculoskeletal injury, mental health or both, health service use beliefs and time spent on temporary limited duty. Improving ADSM operational readiness through efficient screening of MI, MH or both, as well as enhancing treatment referral and removing treatment-seeking barriers, are all goals driven by the overall aim of enhancing overall force preparedness. Research Team: CDR Stuart Hitchcock, CAPT Michael Franks
