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.
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.
