Expanding Behavioral and Occupational Health Research in Military Police.

Introduction: It is important to understand the behavioral and occupational health needs of military police personnel, a high-risk and understudied population.

Materials And Methods: The incidence rates of behavioral and occupational conditions were examined from the years of 2005 to 2021 from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database. Single-sample chi-square analyses were performed to analyze the differences in the incidence rates across demographic groups relative to population density.

Opioid use disorder in the active service: Implications for intervention.

Background And Objectives: Military service members experience occupational-specific injuries that may result in chronic pain and comorbid behavioral health concerns.

Methods: Data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database was used to examine opioid use disorder (OUD) diagnoses between 2016 and 2021. Statistical analysis calculated incidence rates and diagnostic variability by demographic density.
