soldiers in basic combat training.
Military unit cohesion has been shown to correlate with physical and psychological
outcomes. However, little is known about the development of cohesion in the early days of
military service during Basic Combat Training (BCT) and how it relates to positive support
and the negative stressors of training. The current study assessed the development of unit
cohesion across the 10-week BCT period (N = 1,939), and the relation of cohesion to stress,
resilience, mental health measures, and BCT outcomes (graduation, passing the Army
Physical Fitness Test, and final Basic Rifle Marksmanship scores). The sample was primarily
male (62%), under age 25 (88%), and unmarried (88%). All putative mediators showed
significant change over time. Unit cohesion increased over time (slope 0.22; p < .001), and
these increases were associated with decreases in psychological distress (p < .001), sleep
problems (p < .001), and tolerance of BCT stressors (p < .001), as well as increases in
resilience (p < .001), confidence managing stress reactions (p < .001), and positive states of
mind (p < .001). Unit cohesion was indirectly associated with successful graduation and
passing the Army Physical Fitness Test through cohesion-related improvement in
psychological distress, resilience, and confidence managing reactions to stress. Sleep
problems also mediated BCT graduation. Cohesion effects on the Basic Rifle Marksmanship
scores were mediated by psychological distress and tolerance of BCT stressors only. These
results suggest that unit cohesion may play a key role in the development of psychological
health among new soldiers. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

Effects of hardiness and years of military service on posttraumatic stress symptoms in U.S.
Army medics.
We examined the effects of hardiness on symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTS) in
postdeployed U.S. Army medics (N = 322). Medics endure a high level of work-related stress
on and off the battlefield. Hardiness correlated negatively with reports of PTS symptoms and
moderated the cumulative effects of years of military service on PTS symptoms. After
controlling for socially desirable responding, PTS symptoms increased with years of military
service for those with low levels of hardiness and decreased with years of military service for
those with very high levels of hardiness. The military’s current resiliency training programs
would likely benefit from incorporating hardiness measures and principles into its
curriculum.

(2016) Relations Between Cognitive Functioning and Alcohol Use, Craving, and PostTraumatic Stress: An Examination Among Trauma-Exposed Military Veterans With Alcohol
Use Disorder
Cognitive dysfunction is commonly observed among individuals with alcohol use disorder
(AUD) and trauma exposure and is, in turn, associated with worse clinical outcomes.
Accordingly, disruptions in cognitive functioning may be conceptualized as a trans-disease
phenomenon representing a potential high-yield target for intervention. Less is known
though about how different cognitive functions covary with alcohol use, craving, and posttraumatic stress symptom severity among trauma-exposed individuals with AUD. Sixty-eight
male and female trauma-exposed military veterans with AUD, entering treatment trials to
reduce alcohol use, completed measures assessing alcohol use and craving, post-traumatic
stress symptom severity, and cognitive functioning. In multivariate models, after controlling
for post-traumatic stress symptom severity, poorer learning and memory was associated
with higher alcohol consumption and higher risk taking/impulsivity was associated with
stronger preoccupations with alcohol and compulsions to drink. Alcohol consumption and
craving, but not performance on cognitive tests, were positively associated with posttraumatic stress symptom severity. Findings suggest that interventions to strengthen
cognitive functioning might be used as a preparatory step to augment treatments for AUD.
Clinicians are encouraged to consider a standard assessment of cognitive functioning, in
addition to post-traumatic stress symptom severity, in treatment planning and delivery for
this vulnerable and high-risk population.

Among Veteran Households: Associations Between Exposure to Multiple Types of Health
Messages and Intentions to Utilize Related Public Health Hotlines
This study presents preliminary evidence that exposure to different health campaigns
enhance intentions to seek help from telephone hotlines among Veteran households. Data
were collected from telephone surveys (N = 8,756) conducted with both Veteran (n = 3,904),
and for comparison, non-Veteran households (n = 4,852). Cox proportional hazard models
were used to identify associations between message exposure variables ("type" or
"number") with a high intent to use different hotlines (e.g., suicide prevention, domestic
violence). As the number of types of messages an individual was exposed to increased,
reported high intent for hotline use also increased. This remained significant across hotline
type and for both Veteran and non-Veterans households. Results underscore the need for
further research on dissemination strategies of public messaging and their impact on health
behavior among Veteran populations.
