Needs and Uses: Many service members face adverse social determinants of health (SDOH), such as financial, housing, and food insecurity, isolation or distance from others, and social stressors such as racism and discrimination. Exposure to adverse SDOH may place service members at higher risk for behavioral health symptoms and/or suicidality. This study will develop and administer a cross-cutting, comprehensive assessment of upstream risk factors ( i.e., SDOH) for behavioral health issues and suicide among Sailors and Marines to determine the relationship between social risk factors and future behavioral health issues in this population. We will also develop procedures for linking Sailors and Marines to appropriate services and programs based on their reported social and behavioral health needs.

Affected Public: Individuals or households.

Frequency: Twice (Baseline and 6-month follow-up).

Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.

DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald Lucas.
