Longitudinal Survey. The survey
population for the Cross-Sectional
Survey includes all Veterans who meet
the criteria at the time of fielding of
having separated from the military at six
months, one year, and three years prior
to the date that surveys. Service
members who participated in the CrossSectional Survey and voluntarily agreed
to participate in the Longitudinal
Survey make up the Longitudinal
Survey population. VA will use email
and mail methods to administer the
survey, limiting the burden on
respondents. The surveys will be
administered to gauge the long-term
effectiveness of the Transition
Assistance Program (TAP) by: (1)
examining the relationship between
attendance in TAP courses and the use
of VA Benefits; (2) analyzing the effect
of participation in TAP courses on the
long-term outcomes of Veterans in the
broad life domains of employment,
education, health and social
relationships, financial, social
connectivity and overall satisfaction and
well-being, and; (3) identifying areas of
improvement for TAP and the broader
transition process to guide training and/
or operational activities aimed at
enhancing the quality of service
provided to transitioning service
members, Veterans, their families and
caregivers.
