SUMMARY:Epidemiology Seminar:The Millennium Cohort Study, a 21-year Prospective Study of the US Military
DESCRIPTION:
 The Millennium Cohort Study, a 21-year Prospective 
 Study of the US Military: In the late 1990s, 
 the US Department of Defense and Congress 
 identified the need for coordinated epidemiological 
 research to determine how military exposures, 
 including deployment-related exposures, 
 affect long-term health. The Institute of 
 Medicine more specifically defined the importance 
 of a large, prospective study for evaluating 
 exposures and a broad spectrum of important 
 health outcomes. The Millennium Cohort 
 Study was designed, in collaboration with all 
 military services and the Department of Veterans 
 Affairs, to meet these research challenges. 
 \n
 The primary study objective is to evaluate 
 the impact of military service, including 
 deployments and other occupational exposures, 
 on long-term health. Important health outcomes 
 include objective diagnoses, as well as subjective 
 measures of symptoms and functional 
 health.\n
