Completed Projects

The descriptions of projects below represent collaborative efforts of the Clearinghouse with various military and civilian partners. These projects span from revising behavioral health prevention programs focused on target prevention of alcohol use, to creating dynamic online-trainings for child and youth professions, to conducting rapid literature reviews, to developing trainings for mental health clinic staff, to developing evaluation plans and implementing them. The common elements of these projects involve practical science brought to bear on addressing challenges that our military partners identify. We are committed to translating science into action. Let’s have a conversation to see how we can assist you in strengthening service member and family health and well-being.

Air Force

The collaboration between the U.S. Air Force and the Clearinghouse began in 2012, with a USDA cooperative agreement to conduct two research evaluations.

The projects have included the development of online trainings, evaluating the effectiveness of the Community Assessment Survey (CAS), an implementation evaluation of evidence-based PTSD treatments, and the development of an updated manual for Level 1 treatment within ADAPT.

The collaboration between the U.S. Army and the Clearinghouse began in 2011, with a USDA cooperative agreement to conduct a single program evaluation. Since then, the Clearinghouse has completed various projects with the Army in the areas of family advocacy, community service, and healthy parenting.
