    Needs and Uses: Recent suicide clusters aboard Naval vessels have 
highlighted a critical need to better understand risk factors for 
suicide among various shipboard environments (e.g., in maintenance 
yards, at sea). Unfortunately, extremely limited research to date has 
identified individual and organizational factors that are directly 
associated with harmful and destructive behaviors, including 
suicidality, in a variety of Naval environments. In response, the 
Office of Naval Research and the Defense Health Agency have funded a 
longitudinal study called the Challenges of Operational Environments 
Study to identify specific shipboard stressors associated with 
different phases of the aircraft carrier life cycle and determine the 
effects of these stressors on Sailor's mental and behavioral health and 
readiness. Research is needed to provide the Navy with in-depth 
information on specific risks to Sailors at each phase of the carrier 
cycle, such that allocation of resources to prevent suicidality and 
other mental/behavioral health problems can be tailored to meet 
potentially unique needs at each phase. Additionally, findings from the 
proposed effort will be used to develop targeted recommendations to 
improve Sailor mental health and well-being that will be provided 
directly to Navy leaders.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
