Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how and to what extent military service-related factors are associated with barriers to mental healthcare and mental healthcare utilization among U.S. ADSMs, which will inform the development of targeted, interventional research. Findings will inform subsequent force health protection-aligned research by clarifying priorities to reduce mental healthcare barriers and support psychological readiness among ADSMs.
