3. PURPOSE OF THE DATA REQUEST

I. National Surveillance for Birth Defects Among Department of Defense (DoD) Health Care Beneficiaries - The
Birth and Infant Health Registry (BIHR) = To establish a surveillance program for birth defects among Department
of Defense Health Care Beneficiaries. Such a registry will provide baseline data, assist with medical surveillance,
and gather statistics about reproductive outcomes. The primary objective establishes surveillance for major birth
defects among DoD beneficiary infants and provide annual prevalence data on birth defects diagnosed in infancy,
beginning with all military infants born in 1998.
In support of the recommendations of the United States Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs. the Institute of
Medicine's Committee to Review the Health Consequences of Service During the Persian Gulf War. and the
Presidential Advisory; Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses. This DoD registry concept has been endorse
by the Surgeons General of the US Army, Navy and Air Force. and by DoD/HA. (See attachment, Statement of
DoD-HA Policy from Dr. Sue Bailey for BIHR.)
II. Prospective Study of U.S. Military Forces: The Millennium Cohort Study (MILCO) = To determine how the
health of US military veterans change over time. and to determine the health impact of military deployments upon
the adjusted incidence of chronic disease and serve as the foundation for a portfolio of future studies of the
impact of military service. Including anthrax vaccination, on the health of members of the armed forces.
See also http://www.millenniumcohort.org.
This study was designed in response to the Institute of Medicine's report "Measuring Health" and funded by
DoD/HA. The study designed has been favorably reviewed by the American Institute of Biological Sciences
(AIBS). (See attachment, 10M Report Executive Summary. Measuring Health.pdf)
III. Deployment Health Research (DHR) =To conduct epidemiological studies investigating the health experience
of military personnel and their families. Studies focus on frequency of symptoms, hospitalizations, reproductive
outcomes, risks for autoimmune disorders, cancer risk factors and surveillance, mental health outcomes, mortality
and other health outcomes among DoD beneficiary populations, both military and civilian.
Section 743 of the Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 authorized the
Secretary of Defense to establish a center devoted to " ... Iongitudinal study to evaluate data on the health
conditions of members of the Armed Forces upon their return from deployment ... II On September 30, 1999, the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs executed Section 743 to establish the DoD Center for
Deployment Health Research, designated to have remote access to personnel and health data maintained by all
DoD organizations.
For all three protocols above, SSN, EDIPN, Date of Birth, and Gender codes are required to link data from key
tables in the MDR (SADR, SIDR, HCSR-I, HCSR-NI. TED, DEERS, Pharmacy, Laboratory. Radiology). The DDS,
FMP and other Family Relationship codes to confirm familial relationships for the BIHR and MILCO.
Studies include investigations of personnel who remain on active duty and personnel who have left military
service, as well as their families. Records are collected and assembled to permit investigative examination and
analysis of reports of possible exposure to biological, chemical, radiological, disease, or environmental agents
incident to service in military deployments or related operations, exercises, or tests, to conduct scientific or related
studies or medical follow-up programs, and to assist in the resolution of deployment related issues. All studies
conducted at the DoD. Center for Deployment Health Research are conducted using protocols that are
approved by the Naval Health Research Center, and other appropriate Institution Review Boards.

following
two items:

If your response exceeds the space available, please attach additional pages.

Identifiable data will not be disclosed or reused, and will only be used to meet the stated study
objectives.

Describe the method that will be used to ensure that there is minimal risk of identifying or
re-identifying individuals:
If your response exceeds the space available, please attach additional pages.

Only the minimal amount of data needed to accurately identify an individual will be used, this is
usually the EDIPN or the combination of gender, ssn, and dob. Aggregate data and post
analysis results for publication will NEVER include any PHI. Results which have the potential to
identify any individual by identifiers other than EDIPN, gender, ssn, or dob will be not be
reported in aggregate tables.

Requirement: For research requests that undergo review by an Institutional Review
Board ("IRB"), any intent to publish, report, or otherwise release data, results, or findings
must be included in materials submitted to that respective IRB for approval. The
Government Sponsor is responsible for ensuring DoD requirements are met for
publication/release.

PHI data, to include SSN, ED lPN, Date of Birth, Gender, FMP, DDS, Family Relationship codes are required to
link data from core MDR tables, aka the "pub" tables (SADR, SIDR, HCSR-I, HCSR-NI, TED, DEERS, Pharmacy,
Laboratory, Radiology). In addition, the personal identifiers are required to link MDR data with MILCO survey
data and declassified deployment history data.
For BIHR, a birth defect case will be defined as a DoD beneficiary birth with a date of birth, on or after January 1,
1998, and a congenital anomaly diagnosis that is classified as a birth defect by the CDC. This selection of birth
defects is a standard for US state birth defects registries. It includes diagnoses (ICD-9 codes) that are defined as
structural, or adversely affecting an individual's health functioning or social acceptability; and diagnosed before a
child's first birthday.
For MILCO, the prospective methodology will permit the accurate description of the incidence and natural history
of medical conditions in this population. Most importantly, the impact of future deployments will be captured and
addressed by determining whether conditions brought to medical attention post-deployment represent new
occurrences or pre-deployment health states. The data from the survey will not be weighted, and findings from all
subgroups will be reported. Baseline healthcare data and exposure history obtained from the survey will be
joined to deployment history data and DoD healthcare utilization data ( using ICD-9, CPT codes) to study any
associations and/or interactions from baseline health status, exposure history, deployment history and health
outcomes.
For DHR, personal identifiers are required to link data with recruit assessments, deployment history data and
medical outcomes, with emphasis on mental health to include PTSD, TBI, and for cancer surveillance and risk
factors.
