North Carolina Center for Optimizing Military Performance
Often times programs and investments around human performance identify improvement areas but lack the technical assistance to implement and effect real change within systems. These programs primarily target individual elements of performance rather than addressing the whole human as a physical-mental system. Reports and articles can identify that sleep deprivation and alcoholism, for example, affect performance but lack the capabilities to address these issues with service members on a day-to-day basis.
Improving the Mental and Behavioral Health of Service Members
Behavioral health, including substance use, mental health, and health behaviors, is critical to our nation’s military readiness. For more than 40 years, RTI has been doing work that benefits Service members. Our leading-statistical techniques allow us to characterize behavioral health issues within active-duty United States Military.
Beginning in 1980 and through 2008, RTI conducted the DoD Survey of Health-Related Behaviors among Military Personnel, which used sophisticated sampling to interpret behavioral health information collected and study guided policy and funding decisions.
