Introducing the Family Study

The Family Study is designed to work in partnership with the Millennium Cohort Study to better understand how military families are handling military life.

Because the impact of military service on families may not be known immediately, the Family Study is designed to follow military families over the next 21 years.

By surveying participants once every three years, we can assemble a more accurate picture of the impact of various experiences military families encounter over time (PCS moves, deployments, homecomings, childbirth).

Eligibility
Service members who complete their first Millennium Cohort Study survey in 2011-2012 are eligible to invite their spouse. If you took your first survey in 2001, 2004, or 2007, your spouse is not eligible to participate in the Family Study at this time.
