“Medically Ready Force…Ready Medical Force” Research Endeavors Telehealth Can tele-mental health be delivered directly to the home? Can telehealth save money? Mobile Health Can an ‘app’ really collect accurate psychological screening information? Can internet-based self-care solutions for PTSD actually reduce symptoms? Emerging Technologies Is virtual reality exposure therapy better than the standard treatment for PTSD? Suicide Can a smartphone app improve clinical treatments for suicide behaviors? Is mild TBI associated with military suicides? “Medically Ready Force…Ready Medical Force”

DoDSER Annual Report: - A congressionally reviewed report that characterizes and contextualizes Service member suicide data to inform decision makers. “Medically Ready Force…Ready Medical Force”
