Abstract:
AMSARA's mission is to support the development of evidence based accession standards for the Department of Defense (DoD) by guiding improvement of medical and administrative databases and conducting epidemiologic and special studies analyses. Special studies presented in this AR include analyses of accession medical waivers, existed prior to service (EPTS) discharges and other types of discharges. Descriptive statistics are reported for DoD enlisted accessions who enlisted in 2008. Data are collected while the recruits remain on active duty for the first fiscal year (during fiscal year 2008 for this report). The data are then collated, cleaned, and analyzed. Further data are collected and are included in the following AMSARA Annual Report.
