Interestingly, enrollees with any deployment experience were significantly more likely to enroll later in the survey cycle than those with no deployment experience.
In this military cohort, PTSD symptoms at baseline but not other mental health symptoms or military deployment experience were significantly associated with future risk of self-reported diabetes.
US military personnel with deployment experience were significantly more likely to enroll, perhaps in hopes of having their voice heard and military experiences reported.
In contrast with results from unadjusted analyses (Table 2), only four deployment experiences were significantly associated with GWI in multivariable modeling when all veterans were considered together: wearing uniforms treated with pesticides, taking PB pills, frequently having < 4 hr sleep in a 24-hr period, and being within 1 mile of an exploding SCUD missile.
Tidal exchange volumes were similar during the September and April deployments, but mercury fluxes were significantly larger in the fall than in the spring (9 times higher for FTHg; 17 times higher for FMeHg).
In our comparison longitudinal military community sample of Army National Guard and Reserve enlisted soldiers, pre-deployment PCS scores (55.5 ± 5.2) were significantly lower immediately post-deployment (53.2 ± 7.3; t(227) = 5.88, p < 0.001), and lower still approximately one year later (52.3 ± 8.6; t(135) = 7.67), p < 0.001).
Though the core of Brillo was Android, the development and deployment experience was significantly different from regular Android development.
For example, if an RWIS site is established at the location with available power sources and infrastructure, the cost of RWIS deployment will be significantly reduced.
Age, education and number of deployments were the only characteristics that were significantly different between responders and nonresponders, and used to develop sample-based weights which were included in the multivariable model to adjust for any potential non-response bias.
