1 Quarterly PDHRA (DD2900) Health Screen Report, CY 2018 Quarter 2 Overall Assessment This calendar year (CY) quarterly report tracks major areas of concern as related to the EpiData Center Department by previous short-term reports, the media, and leadership requests by members s on the Post Deployment Health Reassessment (PDHRA). The report is generated for United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) service members by service component. The areas of focus are post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depressive disorder (MDD), alcohol use disorder, and suicide/homicide ideation. The report also highlights self-screens and s in all focused areas of behavioral health conditions. Figure 1 shows the number of service members who had a certified PDHRA from June 2017 through June The number of PDHRAs completed by USMC service members decreased by 51.5% from Q1 (N=4,095) to Q2 (N=1.988). The highest and lowest number of PDHRAs completed by USMC service members was identified in March 2018 (N=1,690) and June 2018 (N=484), respectively. The number of PDHRAs completed by USN service members decreased by 46.8% from Q1 (N=2,771) to Q2 (N=1,474). The highest and lowest number of PDHRAs completed by USN service members was identified in Janaury 2018 (N=1,245) and May 2018 (N=386), respectively. 1

3 Percentage of Positive Screens EpiData Center Department USMC Figure 2 shows the percentage of screens (see Methods section) for USMC service members for the four behavioral health conditions of interest: PTSD, MDD, alcohol use disorder, and suicide/homicidal risk. Throughout the 13-month reporting period, PTSD and MDD were consistently the most self-reported screens. The percentages of screens for PTSD and Alcohol use disorder increased from April 2018 to June 2018, while MDD decreased from April to May 2018 before increasing in June Throughout the reporting period, the percentage of screens for suicide/homicide risk remained stable and below 1.0%. None of the observed changes were statistically significant. Figure 2.

9 Methods The electronic Deployment Health Assessment (edha) database was used to identify PDHRAs that were certified during the report quarter. Using this methodology, a member may have multiple forms included in the quarterly report, if they completed multiple forms with different certified dates. Each area of interest has a self-reported section, a report section, and a section. If a member is already, said member will only be counted in the column regardless of status. The following paragraphs explain how screening results in each of the five selected behavioral health conditions were calculated for each version of the assessment. Screening result criteria were defined using literature reviews and authors own validated scoring system on the screens. Please contact the EpiData Center for more information. PDHRA Version 3 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): - A screen for self-reported PTSD was calculated using question 13 in the selfreport section. Question 13 is identified as the Primary Care PTSD Screen (PC-PTSD) and is said to be endorsed if a member answers at least two of the four questions Yes. - Question 16f and 9c on the section was used to identify possible concern for PTSD and whether a member was already under professional care for PTSD respectively. - Referrals for PTSD include the following categories from question 17 on the section: behavioral health, mental health and substance abuse. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): - TBI related questions are not included on PDHRA version 3 form. Depression (MDD): - Question 14 of the self-report section is the Patient Health Questionnaire 2 questions (PHQ2) for depression. Each question assessed depressive symptoms and was scored on a 0-3 level. If either question was answered with a 2 ( More than half the days ) or 3 ( Nearly every day ) it was considered a self-reported depression screen. - Question 19g and 10c on the section was used to identify possible concern for depression and whether a member was already under professional care for depression respectively. - Referrals for depression include the following categories from question 17 on the section: behavioral health, mental health and substance abuse. 12

10 Alcohol Dependence (AUDIT-C): - Question 12a 12c is the shorter version of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), known as the AUDIT alcohol consumption questions (AUDIT-C). Questions 12a and 12c are tallied (0 4) and question 12b is tallied (1-5). The tallied questions are then summed to calculate the overall score. A score of at least 8 is defined as an endorsed screen needing a. - Question 17e and 8b on the section was used to identify possible concern for alcohol dependence and whether a member was already under professional care for alcohol dependence respectively. - Referrals for alcohol dependence include the following categories from question 17 on the section: behavioral health, mental health, substance abuse. Also included is question 8b on the form where the can directly refer a suspected alcohol problem. Suicide/Homicide Ideation: - While there is no specific self-reported question for suicide/homicide ideation on the PDHRA, question 13 of the section was used to identify potential risk to self and others. - Question 14 of the section assesses the risk of self-harm or violence conveyed by the service members. - Question 16i and 16j on the section was used to identify possible concern for suicide/homicide ideation.
