- Survey data was used to examine whether deployment among Active Duty military personnel increases risky or self-destructive behavior. The researchers also examined whether deployment effects on risky behavior varied depending on mental health status (depression, anxiety, and post-trumatic stress disorder [PTSD]) and pre-deployment risky behavior. Previous engagement in risky behavior, military service, and mental health status influenced the association between deployment and risky behavior.
