In August 2012, the President identified mental health care for servicemembers as a high priority. This report examines (1) military servicemembersäó» and deployed civiliansäó» reported perceptions about mental health care stigma; and the extent to which DOD (2) has policies and related efforts to address mental health care stigma and (3) is positioned to measure the progress of its efforts to reduce mental health care stigma. Includes recommendations. Tables. This is a print on demand report.
