2018 FOLLOW-UP SURVEY
The 2018 Follow-Up Survey is web-only. This paper survey was designed to
provide the study team with an operational document, and is not intended to
be completed by participants or to serve as a substitute for the experience of
completing the web-survey.
The web-survey uses numerous skip patterns and allows for personalization
of questions. By tailoring the survey to each participant’s particular situation,
we hope to increase the quality of the data collected and to enhance the user
experience.
Italicized text is instructional only and will not appear on the survey.
Red text indicates the standardized instruments from which the survey
questions were sourced.

Privacy Act Statement
You have rights under the Privacy Act.
The following statement describes how that ACT applies to this study:
The Privacy Act System of Records Notice (SORN) for this study is N6500-1. The SORN was published on the
Defense Privacy and Civil Liberties Division (DPCLD) website on November 14, 2014and can be found by
visiting: http://dpcld.defense.gov/Privacy/SORNsIndex/DOD-Component-Article-View/Article/570396/
n06500-1/
Authority: Authority to request this information is granted under: 10 USC 136, Under Secretary of Defense for
Personnel and Readiness, 10 USC 1782, Surveys of Military Families, 10 USC 2358, Research and Development
Projects, Under Secretary of Defense Memorandum #: 99-028, 30 SEP 99 "Establishment of DoD Centers for
Deployment Health” and Executive Order 9396, Numbering System for Federal Accounts Relating to Individual
Persons.
Purpose: To create a probability-based database of service members and veterans who have, or have not,
deployed overseas so that various longitudinal health and research studies may be conducted over a 67-year
period. The database will be used: (a.) To systematically collect population-based demographic and health
data to evaluate the health of Armed Forces personnel throughout their careers and after leaving the service.
(b.) To evaluate the impact of operational deployments on various measures of health over time including
medically unexplained symptoms and chronic diseases to include cancer, heart disease and diabetes. (c.) To
serve as a foundation upon which other routinely captured medical and deployment data may be added to
answer future questions regarding the health risks of operational deployment, occupations, and general
service in the Armed Forces. (d.) To examine characteristics of service in the Armed Forces associated with
common clinician-diagnosed diseases and with scores on several standardized self-reported health
inventories for physical and psychological functional status. (e.) To provide a data repository and available
representative Armed Forces cohort that future investigators and policy makers might use to study important
aspects of service in the Armed Forces including disease outcomes among an Armed Forces cohort.
In addition to revealing changes in Service member and veteran’ health status over time, the Millennium
Cohort Study will serve as a data repository, providing a solid foundation upon which additional
epidemiological studies may be constructed.
Routine Uses: The information provided in this questionnaire will be maintained in data files at the
Deployment Health Research Department at the Naval Health Research Center and used only for medical
research purposes. Use of these data may be granted to other federal and non-federal medical research
agencies as approved by the Naval Health Research Center's Institutional Review Board. In addition to those
disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, these records or information
contained therein may specifically be disclosed outside the DoD as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
522a(b)(3).
To the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) for (1) considering individual claims for benefits for which that
DVA is responsible; and (2) for use in scientific, medical and other analysis regarding health outcomes
research associated with military service. To the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention for use in scientific, medical and other analysis regarding health outcome
research associated with military service.
NOTE: All disclosures to the DVA and HHS must have prior approval of the Naval Health Research Center
Institutional Review Board and a Memorandum of Understanding must be entered into to ensure the right
and obligations of the signatories are clear. Access to data 1) is provided on need-to-know basis only; 2) must
adhere to the rule of minimization in that only information necessary to accomplish the purpose for which the
disclosure is being made is releasable; and 3) must follow strict guidelines established in the data sharing
agreement. To the Social Security Administration (SSA) for considering individual claims for benefits for
which that SSA is responsible. The DoD 'Blanket Routine Uses' that appear at the beginning of the Navy's
compilation of systems of records notices apply to this system.
