Conclusions• Significant benefits of comprehensive, systematic military mental
health assessment, such as PHP
• Evaluate treatment progress
• Identify effective programs
• Successful specialized treatment
• Understand population seeking care
• Unique risk and protective factors
• Being single and not living with spouse could result in better treatment response
• Planning to leave the military doesn’t inhibit ability to obtain treatment gains
