Article Synopsis
- This study provides a comprehensive analysis of mental healthcare utilization (MHU) among Danish military personnel who have been deployed (FDP) compared to the general civilian population, incorporating previously overlooked data on psychotherapy services.
- The research involved 10,971 first-time deployed military personnel returning from missions between 2005 and 2017, matched with a civilian reference group of 253,714 individuals, examining their healthcare records from military and civilian sectors.
- Results showed that when including military healthcare utilization, FDP had significantly higher MHU rates than civilians, highlighting the importance of considering both civilian and military data when assessing the mental health impact of military deployment.
Military personnel may withhold information on mental health problems (MHPs) for fear of not being permitted to deploy. Past or current MHPs may, however, increase the risk of postdeployment MHPs. Using psychiatric diagnoses rather than self-report assessments in predeployment screening may be a more effective screening strategy for determining deployment fitness.

It has been shown that up to 50% of patients have not yet returned to work six months after a whiplash injury. We wanted to study the return-to-work (RTW) process in individuals sick-listed for more than eight weeks in six Danish municipalities.

Method: A nationwide prospective cohort study of 2790 Danish senior medical consultants was conducted (61.7% response rate).
Background: Different follow-up times and methods in return to work (RTW) research make it difficult to compare results between studies, and not all intervention effects and determinants may be constant over time.
Aims: This study aimed to describe the RTW process of a population of long-term sickness-absent workers over a 3-year period in terms of the effect of selected determinants over time.
Methods: A total of 7780 sickness-absent persons were registered by social workers in six different municipalities and were followed up for 2 to 3 years.
