Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress

Are you an active-duty service member looking for ways to help your fellow Warfighters?

Researchers invite active-duty US service members to test a platform designed to facilitate recruitment for an upcoming vitamin B9 study focused on reducing su***de risk and supporting service member health.

Think of the vitamin B9 study as universal prevention, like a seatbelt, that could help other service members and advance future prevention efforts.

Participation takes about 10 minutes, is completely online, and can be completed anywhere by smartphone or computer.
