SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: Under 38 U.S.C., Part I,
Chapter 5, Section 527.
Title: Longitudinal Investigation of
Gender, Health and Trauma (LIGHT)
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 2900–NEW.
Type of Review: New Collection.
Abstract: The purpose of this study is
to understand the cumulative effects of
lifetime exposure to trauma and ongoing
exposure to trauma such as community
and intimate partner violence on
Veterans’ mental and physical health,
including its impact on the reproductive
health of Veterans. To implement this
research, VHA and entities working on
behalf of VHA will conduct a
nationwide longitudinal survey of
Veterans residing in communities with
varying levels of crime. Specifically,
this longitudinal study will involve
surveying Veterans regarding their life
experiences, experiences within their
neighborhood, mental health
symptomatology, physical health,
reproductive health, mental health
service use, social support, and coping
style three times over the course of
approximately 1 year. We will contact a
random sample of 14,000 Veterans
(11,000 female and 3,000 male) between
the ages of 18 and 45 obtained from VA
DoD Identity Repository (VADIR) to
invite them to participate in this study,
with the ultimate goal of achieving a
baseline sample of ∼4,000 Veterans
(∼3,000 female and ∼1,000 male). Given
our primary aim to examine the role of
community violence on outcomes, we
will oversample for residency in high
crime communities using zip codes to
ensure that individuals living in these

areas are invited to participate and are,
therefore, represented in the study
sample. We will also oversample rural
communities using zip codes. Finally,
as we are explicitly interested in underrepresented populations in the larger
Veteran population, we will also
oversample racial minorities. Our
response rate target for the survey is
∼30%, which is consistent with other
recent surveys of the Veteran
population. After adjusting for
potentially unusable or ineligible
records (estimated at ∼8%), we predict
∼4,000 will complete the study.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published at 82 FR
37169 on August 8, 2017, page 37169.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden:
Time 1 Survey: 3,000 hours.
Time 2 Survey: 3,000 hours.
Time 3 Survey: 3,000 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent:
Time 1 Survey: 45 minutes.
