    Titles: Development of the Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory 
(DRRI)
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0730
    Type of Review: Extension.
    Abstract: The need to validate measures for use with the newest 
deployment cohort, including Veterans of the wars in Iraq and 
Afghanistan, has been identified as a critical need by both VA and DoD. 
The current request for a revision to OMB 2900-0730 is responsive to 
this identified need by proposing additional data collection with a 
sample of Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) 
Veterans for the purpose of validating updated scales for assessing 
deployment-related risk and resilience factors that have documented 
implications for PTSD and other mental health problems. The originally 
approved OMB project (VA Form 10-21087) involved collecting data from 
Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) veterans 
to further refine and validate updated Deployment Risk and Resilience 
Inventory (DRRI) scales with respect to mental health outcomes. The 
purpose of the present request for a revision to this OMB-approved 
project is to conduct additional data collections with OEF/OIF Veterans 
who participated in the original survey for the purpose of further 
exploring the construct validity of these scales. Specifically, the 
goal of this follow-up study is to examine deployment-related factors 
assessed in the DRRI as they relate to subsequently assessed 
occupational and family outcomes, as well as VA service use. The long-
term goal of this project is to provide a suite of scales that will be 
optimally useful to researchers and clinicians interested in studying 
factors that increase or reduce risk for PTSD and other health problems 
among Veteran and military samples.
    Legal authority for this data collection is found under 38 U.S.C., 
part I, chapter 5, section 527 that authorizes the collection of data 
that will allow measurement and evaluation of the Department of 
Veterans Affairs Programs, the goal of which is improved health care 
for veterans.
