    The Defense Department is now fielding the 2024 Health Related Behaviors Survey to nearly 250,000 randomly selected active-duty service members.  

    The deadline for completion is May 3. 

    Quote:

    This year's survey includes questions about mental and physical health, substance use, and other health topics related to service member readiness.   

    "The survey is the department's flagship survey for understanding health, health-related behaviors, and well-being of service members, allowing leaders to better understand the readiness of the force,” said Navy Capt. Kenneth Richter, director of psychological health for the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. "Increased participation by service members helps develop conclusions that better represent the overall population of the DOD."

    Survey answers are confidential, and a participant's responses are not shared with the department or service branches in a way that can identify them, he said. 

    Quote:

    If selected to participate, service members will receive an email with a link to their military email addresses recorded in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System.  

    DOD has partnered with the RAND Corp., a private research and analysis company, to conduct the survey. Recipients will receive an email from 2024hrbs.com with a survey control number and a link to the welcome page.  

    For more information and an extensive FAQ on the purpose of the survey, recipients can visit health.mil/HRBS
