| Post Deployment Health Reassessment Program (PDHRA) |
 |
| On January 23, 2006, Secretary of the Army, Dr. Francis J. Harvey and the Chief of Staff of the Army, General Peter J. Schoomaker authorized a new health screening program, Post Deployment Health Reassessment (PDHRA) which is designed to address deployment related physical and mental health needs of Soldiers three to six months after returning from deployment. This unprecedented Army health assessment program will address the deployment related physical and mental health needs of our Soldiers. |

The Post-Deployment Health Reassessment (PDHRA) Program is mandated by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs designed to identify and address health concerns, with specific emphasis on mental health, that have emerged since deployment. The PDHRA provides for a second health assessment using DD Form 2900. The reassessment, scheduled for completion before the end of 180 days after return, ensures Reserve Component members have the option of treatment using their TRICARE health benefit.
The Army Post Deployment Health Reassessment (PDHRA) Program is a part of the DOD's overall force health protection program.
- It extends the continuum of care for service members' deployment-related health concerns.
- The PDHRA is a process designed to identify the deployment-related health concerns of all service members during the three- to six-month time period after their return from deployment and facilitate access to care.
- The PDHRA provides education, screening, assessment and access to care for a wide variety of questions and concerns that service members may have about their health after they return from deployment.

Protecting the health of those who protect our country is an important mission.
It is recognized that deployment may have an impact on your health and wellbeing. In an effort to identify and treat your deployment-related health concerns, the Post Deployment Health Reassessment or PDHRA, has been implimented. The program provides education, screening, assessment and an opportunity to access care for a wide variety of questions and concerns you may have about your health after you return from deployment.

While deployed, you were focused on the mission at hand. Now that you have returned home, it is time to focus on your life, your health, and your future. It is encouraged to take advantage of the healthcare and community services available to you through participation in the Post-Deployment Health Reassessment.
The PDHRA empowers each of you to take control of your health and provides you with the chance to address your deployment-related health concerns with a healtcare professional. By identifying your health and readjustment concerns early, you can resolve problems that could - if left unattended - negatively affect your deployment status, career, or life beyond service.

You should complete the Post-Deployment Health Reassessment three-to-six months after returning from deployment. If you are in a unit, your unit or commander will notify you when it's time to complete the reassessment. Selected service members may be notified through the internet or a direct mailing when it is time to complete the PDHRA.
First, you will receive training to assist you in participating in the screening process, then you will complete a questionnaire that will gather your current demographic and health status information. Then, you will have an opportunity to discuss your deployment health concerns or questions with a healthcare provider. Together with the provider you can determine what additional services or referrals are needed.

For Yourself:
The PDHRA empowers each of you to take control of your health. By identifying your health and readjustment concerns early, you can resolve problems that could - if left unattended - negatively affect your deployment status, career, or life beyond service.
For Your Family:
Your family's peace of mind is an important part of your own well-being. Some family members worry about how deployments can affect their loved one's health. When you complete the PDHRA, you can reassure them that any health concerns you have will receive professional attention.
For the Army:
Deployment-related health concerns and problems may appear subtly over time and go unnoticed, even among service leaders and fellow soldiers. When you complete the PDHRA and answer candidly about your health status and concerns, the reassessment provides heathcare personnel with a comprehensive view of your health. A healthy Soldier is a ready Soldier - ready not only for deployment, but for life after deployment.
For the Future:
By completing the PDHRA you enable healthcare providers to initiate early medical care for your deployment health concerns. Early treatment can keep medical concerns from becoming chronic problems.
