Military, Work, and Health Characteristics of Separated and Active Service Members From the Study for Employment Retention of Veterans (SERVe)

An examination regarding post-9/11 Service members and Veterans employed in the civilian workforce was conducted. Demographic and descriptive information were collected to explore differences between Service members who are still active in the National Guard/Reserves and Veterans who are no longer Active Duty military or National Guard/Reserves. Information regarding perceived support at work and home, physical and psychological health, and work characteristics was gathered. Differences regarding the health and well-being between those separated from military service and those actively serving in the National Guard/Reserves were highlighted.
