From the stresses of repeated deployments to the difficulties of
re-entry into civilian life, we are just beginning to understand
how protracted conflicts, such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan,
are affecting service members. Issues such as risky health
behaviors and chemical dependence raise productivity concerns as
they do with all organizations, but they also have a profound
impact on the safety and readiness of troops--and by extension, the
military as a whole--in life-or-death situations. Understanding
Military Workforce Productivity cuts through the myths and
misconceptions about the health and resilience of today's
active-duty armed forces. This first-of-its-kind volume presents
up-to-date findings across service branches in core health areas
including illness and injury, alcohol and drug abuse, tobacco use,
obesity, and mental health. The short- and long-term implications
discussed relate to the quality of the lives of service members and
their families, the quality and preparedness of the military as a
workforce, and prevention and intervention efforts. The book:
Presents data from ten large-scale health behavior surveys
sponsored by the Department of Defense. Offers background context
for understanding health and behavioral health and productivity
among service members. Introduces a health and behavioral health
model of productivity loss in the armed forces. Compares key
indicators of substance abuse, health, and mental health in
military and civilian populations. Reviews approaches for improving
military productivity. Identifies areas for further study.
Understanding Military Workforce Productivity offers a rare
close-up of health issues in the services, making it an invaluable
source of information for practitioners and researchers in mental
health, substance abuse, health behaviors, and military behavioral
health.
