Abstract
Due to deployment-related stress, a considerable number of soldiers have to be evacuated from theater. Medical reports of all soldiers who were evacuated for mental health reasons during the 22nd German ISAF Contingent ( N = 35) were evaluated with regard to sociodemographic and operational factors. Data were compared with a questionnaire survey of the same contingent ( N = 1,165). Logistic regression showed a significantly higher risk of evacuation for soldiers who had participated in combat (Exp. B: 7.9; p = .002), those who had been stationed in Kunduz (Exp. B: 4.1; p = .005), and soldiers under the age of 26 (Exp. B: 4.0; p = .013).These pilot study data can help identify target groups for more comprehensive measures of stress prevention.
