SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: Under 38 U.S.C., Part I, Chapter 5, Section 527.

    Title: Longitudinal Investigation of Gender, Health and Trauma 
(LIGHT) Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-NEW.
    Type of Review: New Collection.
    Abstract: The purpose of this study is to understand the cumulative 
effects of lifetime exposure to trauma and ongoing exposure to trauma 
such as community and intimate partner violence on Veterans' mental and 
physical health, including its impact on the reproductive health of 
Veterans. To implement this research, VHA and entities working on 
behalf of VHA will conduct a nationwide longitudinal survey of Veterans 
residing in communities with varying levels of crime. Specifically, 
this longitudinal study will involve surveying Veterans regarding their 
life experiences, experiences within their neighborhood, mental health 
symptomatology, physical health, reproductive health, mental health 
service use, social support, and coping style three times over the 
course of approximately 1 year. We will contact a random sample of 
14,000 Veterans (11,000 female and 3,000 male) between the ages of 18 
and 45 obtained from VA DoD Identity Repository (VADIR) to invite them 
to participate in this study, with the ultimate goal of achieving a 
baseline sample of ~4,000 Veterans (~3,000 female and ~1,000 male). 
Given our primary aim to examine the role of community violence on 
outcomes, we will oversample for residency in high crime communities 
using zip codes to ensure that individuals living in these areas are 
invited to participate and are, therefore, represented in the study 
sample. We will also oversample rural communities using zip codes. 
Finally, as we are explicitly interested in under-represented 
populations in the larger Veteran population, we will also oversample 
racial minorities. Our response rate target for the survey is ~30%, 
which is consistent with other recent surveys of the Veteran 
population. After adjusting for potentially unusable or ineligible 
records (estimated at ~8%), we predict ~4,000 will complete the study.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information was published at 82 FR 37169 on August 8, 2017, page 37169.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Annual Burden:
    Time 1 Survey: 3,000 hours.
    Time 2 Survey: 3,000 hours.
    Time 3 Survey: 3,000 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent:
    Time 1 Survey: 45 minutes.
    Time 2 Survey: 45 minutes.
    Time 3 Survey: 45 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Estimated Number of Respondents:
    Time 1 Survey: 4,000.
    Time 2 Survey: 4,000.
    Time 3 Survey: 4,000.
