The Occupational Role of Women in Military Service: Validation of Occupation and Prevalence of Exposures in the Millennium Cohort Study	International Journal of Environmental Health Research	2007 Aug;17(4):271-84
Smith TC, Jacobson IG, Smith B, Hooper TI, Ryan MAK, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team Data on women's occupations are reliable, and occupational codes can be well correlated with exposures of concern. This was an award-winning presentation at a Navy conference in 2006. View abstract
The Physical and Mental Health of a Large Military Cohort: Baseline Functional Health Status of the Millennium Cohort	BMC Public Health	2007 Nov;7(147):340
Smith TC, Zamorski M, Smith B, Riddle JR, LeardMann CA, Wells TS, Engel CC, Hoge CW, Adkins J, Blazer D, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team The functional health of service members in this 22-year longitudinal study compares favorably at baseline with other civilian and military populations.

The US Department of Defense Millennium Cohort Study: Career Span and Beyond Longitudinal Follow-Up	Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine	2009 Oct;51(10):1193-1201
Smith TS, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team Describes the Millennium Cohort Study, a large longitudinal occupational health study designed and initiated prior to the combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan specifically to assess any short or long-term health outcomes during and after military service and career.

Trajectories of Trauma Symptoms and Resilience in Deployed US Military Service Members: A Prospective Cohort Study	British Journal of Psychiatry	2012 Apr;200(4):317-23
Bonanno GA, Mancini AD, Horton JL, Powell TM, LeardMann CA, Boyko EJ, Wells TS, Hooper TI, Gackstetter GD, Smith TC, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team Symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTS) were examined over time in relation to deployment. Four classes of PTS trajectories were identified for both single and multiple deployers, with over 80% of the deployers exhibiting a stable trajectory of low symptoms (i.e., resilience) pre- to post-deployment. Several factors predicting PTS trajectories were identified, which may direct future research aimed at decreasing the risk of posttraumatic stress disorder among deployers View abstract
US Military Deployment During 2001-2006: Comparison of Subjective and Objective Data Sources in a Large Prospective Health Study	Annals of Epidemiology	2007 Dec;17(12):976-82
Smith B, Wingard DL, Ryan MAK, Macera CA, Patterson TL, Slymen DJ, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team Defining military deployments using multiple data sources is examined. Deployment timing and duration metrics, critical for epidemiological studies, are valid in the Millennium Cohort Study. View abstract
Weight Change Following US Military Service	Int J Obes (Lond)	2013 Feb;37(2):244-53
Littman AJ, Jacobson IG, Boyko EJ, Powell TM, Smith TC, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team This study provides the first prospectively collected evidence for an increased rate of weight gain around the time of military discharge that may explain previously reported higher rates of obesity in veterans, and identifies characteristics of higher-risk groups. Discharge from military service presents a window of risk and opportunity to prevent unhealthy weight gain in military personnel and veterans. View abstract
When Epidemiology Meets the Internet: Web-Based Surveys in the Millennium Cohort Study	American Journal of Epidemiology	2007 Nov;166(11):1345-54
Smith B, Smith TC, Gray GC, Ryan MAK, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team Optimal use of the Internet - with minimal response bias, maximum cost-savings, and improved data - is highlighted. View abstract
