Report
Results for the Active Component
The 2018 Health Related Behaviors Survey (HRBS) included active component personnel from the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard. This page collects the final report of findings from the active component as well as briefs covering the domains of health promotion and disease prevention, substance use, mental and emotional health, physical health and functional limitations, and sexual behavior and health. Two additional briefs focus on sexual orientation and health, and deployment experiences and health.
A series of infographics collects survey findings by service.
Also see the findings from the reserve component. Because making direct comparisons between the two components is not advised, RAND researchers employed a regression model that allowed them to compare the two components.
