Mental Health Care for Service Members and Their Families Across the Globe

Open access

Abstract

The U.S. Defense Department partnered with the International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership on effective leadership and operational practices for delivery of mental health (MH) as well as addiction services throughout the world for Service Members (SM) and beneficiaries. A Military Issues Work Group (MIWG) was established in 2011 to focus on challenges experienced by military SM and beneficiaries among countries. The MIWG found common concerns related to MH care delivery to rural and remote beneficiaries. Gaps in access to care were identified and prioritized to explore. This led to better collaboration and understanding of telemental health (TMH) practices and technology applications (apps) which increase access to care for rural and remote SMs and beneficiaries. An assessment of the number of SMs and dependents distant from MH care services in the USA was conducted, as well as an environmental scan for psychological health-focused mobile apps and TMH services geared toward SM, veterans, and beneficiaries. The MIWG is developing a compendium of existing military TMH programs and apps that address MH concerns and extant literature on use of technology to extend global access to care for military members and their families across the world.

  • Affective disorders are the most prevalent psychopathological manifestations among combat veterans, emerging as a consequence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by blast exposure.

    “Affective disorders represent the most prevalent psychopathological manifestations among combat veterans, emerging as a consequence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) [1-3] and traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by blast exposure [4-6].”

    From An individualized approach to the treatment of affective disorders in the comorbidity of post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury (2024) · cites this paper as [1]

    The TMH and United States sections describe PTSD-related resources for veterans, but do not assess which disorders are most prevalent among combat veterans or whether affective disorders result from PTSD or blast-related TBI. Searches for affective-disorder prevalence, TBI, and blast exposure found no passage addressing those claims. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
