Further, we will build on our previous work by comparing the magnitude of various stressors on the same outcome variables (using data from our prior studies) to allow for comparisons between the Persian Gulf War and the current Operation Iraqi Freedom. More specifically, we propose to also describe the incidence, prevalence, and nature of symptoms associated with the type of deployment in OIF and service component (i.e., active, reserve, guard). Our survey design is based on previous experience with three TSNRP funded studies of Gulf War veteran women and we will randomly select and recruit 1200 Air Force women to determine the effects of various deployment experiences and work and family stressors on women's physical and mental health as well as on their likelihood to remain in military service. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to conduct a comprehensive cross-sectional study of women deployed in service of OIF, to disentangle the multiple, additive and interactive effects of war-related stressors including mobilization and deployment, and other predisposing factors that impact physical and mental health as well as retention in the armed forces. Despite the increased emphasis of health surveillance following the Persian Gulf War (PGW), there remains many unanswered questions regarding the effects of wartime deployment on key outcomes that directly influence the readiness posture of today's military force.
