| Early Mortality Experience in a Large Military Cohort and a Comparison of Data Sources Used for Mortality Ascertainment | Population Health Metrics | 2010 May;8(1):15 |
|
Hooper TI, Gackstetter GD, LeardMann CA, Boyko EJ, Pearse LA, Smith B, Amoroso PA, Smith TC, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team This study assessed the ability of four different mortality data sources to document the early mortality experience of the Cohort. The strengths and limitations of each data source are described and support continued use of multiple sources for future mortality assessment. |

| A Prospective Study of Depression Following Combat Deployment in Support of the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan | American Journal of Public Health | 2010 Jan;100(1):90-9 |
|
Wells TS, LeardMann CA, Fortuna SO, Smith B, Smith TC, Ryan MAK, Boyko EJ, Blazer D, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team Findings emphasize that exposure to combat, rather than deployment itself, among men and women significantly increase the risk of new-onset depression. |

| Newly Reported Respiratory Symptoms and Conditions Among Military Personnel Deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan: A Prospective Population-Based Study | American Journal of Epidemiology | 2009 Dec;170(11):1433-42 |
|
Smith B, Wong CA, Smith TC, Boyko EJ, Gackstetter GD, Ryan MAK, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team Elevated risk for self-reported respiratory symptoms was found among Army and Marine Corps personnel deployed in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. No increased risk for self-reported asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema was found. |

| Newly Reported Hypertension After Military Combat Deployment in a Large Population-Based Study | Hypertension | 2009 Nov;54(5):966-73 |
|
Granado NS, Smith TC, Swanson GM, Harris RB, Shahar E, Smith B, Boyko EJ, Wells TS, Ryan MAK, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team Findings suggest that deployers who report multiple combat exposures, especially those who personally witnessed a death due to war or disaster, are at higher risk for newly-reported hypertension, possibly indicating a stress-induced hypertensive effect. |

| 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. |
||
| Self-Reported Health Symptoms and Conditions Among Complementary and Alternative Medicine Users in a Large Military Cohort | Annals of Epidemiology | 2009 Sep;19(9)613-22 |
|
Jacobson IG, White MR, Smith TC, Smith B, Wells TS, Gackstetter GD, Boyko EJ, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team Findings illustrate that a relatively young adult occupational cohort of military personnel using CAM therapies also report multiple comorbidities which may indicate chronic illness management and poorer overall health. |

| Baseline Self-Reported Functional Health Predicts Vulnerability to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Following Combat Deployment: Prospective US Military Cohort Study | British Medical Journal | 2009 Apr;338:b1273 |
|
LeardMann CA, Smith TC, Smith B, Wells TS, Ryan MAK, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team Military service members who screen in the lowest 15% of health prior to combat exposure are more vulnerable to developing postdeployment PTSD. |
||
| Postcards Encourage Participant Updates | Epidemiology | 2009 Mar;20(2):313-4 |
|
Welch KE, LeardMann CA, Jacobson IG, Speigle SJ, Smith B, Smith TC, Ryan MAK, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team The results of this study quantify and confirm that semiannual appreciatory contact is an effective way to maintain communication with a highly mobile participant population while prompting updates of contact information. |
||
| Disordered Eating and Weight Changes After Deployment: Longitudinal Assessment of a Large US Military Cohort | American Journal of Epidemiology | 2009 Feb;169(4):415-27 |
|
Jacobson IG, Smith TC, Smith B, Keel PK, Amoroso PJ, Wells TS, Bathalon GP, Boyko EJ, Ryan MAK for the Millennium Cohort Study Team Deployed women who reported combat exposures represent a subgroup at higher risk for developing eating problems and weight loss postdeployment compared with deployed women who did not report combat exposures. |
||
| PTSD Prevalence, Associated Exposures, and Functional Health Outcomes in a Large, Population-Based Military Cohort | Public Health Report | 2009 Jan;124:90-102 |
|
Smith TC, Wingard DL, Ryan MAK, Kritz-Silverstein D, Slymen DJ, Sallis JF, for the Millennium Cohort Study Team Findings suggest a 2% prevalence of current PTSD symptoms in the US Military that are associated with increased reporting of exposures and decrements in functional health. |
