The Veterans Metrics Initiative (TVMI) Transitioning Veterans Survey (TVS), United States, 2016-2019

The Veterans Metrics Initiative Transitioning Veterans Survey was designed to examine well-being as veterans transition from military to civilian life for three years from 2016 to 2019, and identify the use of transition and reintegration programs. The study aims are to: Document veteran well-being in four key domains--vocation, finances, mental and physical health, and social relationships--over the first three years of the transition from military to civilian life. Describe programs that are used by veterans as they reintegrate into civilian life, distill them into their components, and identify common components across programs. Examine the link between common program components and veteran well-being, and between program components and veteran characteristics or subgroups. The study is administratively directed by the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc. (HJF).
