SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Social Determinants of 
Health Study; OMB Control Number 0703-SDOH.
    Needs and Uses: Many service members face adverse social 
determinants of health (SDOH), such as financial, housing, and food 
insecurity, isolation or distance from others, and social stressors 
such as racism and discrimination. Exposure to adverse SDOH may place 
service members at higher risk for behavioral health symptoms and/or 
suicidality. This study will develop and administer a cross-cutting, 
comprehensive assessment of upstream risk factors (i.e., SDOH) for 
behavioral health issues and suicide among Sailors and Marines to 
determine the relationship between social risk factors and future 
behavioral health issues in this population. We will also develop 
procedures for linking Sailors and Marines to appropriate services and 
programs based on their reported social and behavioral health needs.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 725.
    Number of Respondents: 1,088.
    Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Annual Responses: 2,176.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Frequency: Twice (Baseline and 6-month follow-up).

    Dated: June 20, 2024.
