Abstract: This prospective population-based study of potential differential change in health status among deployed and non-deployed US military personnel, is mandated by Congress, recommended by the US Institute of Medicine and authorized in the FY2000 Defense Authorization Act. The study anticipates the potential development of further Gulf-War-Illness-like phenomena that might arise in relation to current and future military deployments. The Millennium Cohort Family Study will assess the interrelated health effects of service on military members and their families.
