Survey of Health Related Behaviors, 2015 Health Related Behavior Survey Active Duty
Active Duty Service and Coast Guard members will be randomly selected to represent their Service branch and complete an anonymous Health Related Behaviors Survey (HRBS). The survey, accessed online, takes about 40 minutes to complete.
The HRBS has been conducted approximately every three years since 1980 and is used to measure the health related behaviors and lifestyles of military personnel that have the potential to impact readiness.
Participation in the survey is entirely voluntary and we hope that you will recognize its importance and find time to answer these health-related questions. The survey can be completed using a government computer during duty hours or a home computer with Internet access. To protect your privacy, the survey is anonymous. This means that you will not be asked for your name or other personal identifiers on the survey, and that your responses cannot be linked back to you.
“Through this survey and the service members’ candid responses, our experts are able to uncover those issues that may affect the health and well-being of our Service members,” said Dr. Jonathon Woodson, Assistant Secretary for Health Affairs and Director, Defense Health Agency.
To protect your identity, the survey is designed to be completed in one sitting so if you are interrupted, you will have to start over when you come back to the website. As in past years, a summary report with the survey results will be posted to a DoD website as soon as the final report is ready, in Summer-Fall 2016.
