Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Military Health Systems
  • Survey Methodology

Background:

  • The Department of Defense utilizes the Health Enrollment Assessment Review (HEAR) survey, modeled after the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).
  • Assessing the reliability of self-report survey data is crucial for accurate health assessments in military populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the test-retest reliability of the HEAR survey among active duty service members.
  • To compare the reliability of the HEAR survey with established reliability patterns of the BRFSS.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a convenience sample of active duty service members who completed the HEAR survey twice.
  • Calculated test-retest reliability by comparing individual responses to survey items.

  • Benchmarked HEAR reliability against similar studies using the BRFSS.

    • Main Results:

    • Most reliability estimates for the HEAR survey indicated fair to excellent levels.
    • Significant agreement was observed between HEAR reliability findings and comparable BRFSS studies.
    • Results were consistent with other studies despite variations in administration and respondent characteristics.

    Conclusions:

    • The HEAR survey provides reliable data for active duty military personnel.
    • The HEAR survey's reliability is comparable to the BRFSS, supporting its use in military health research.
    • Findings affirm the HEAR survey's utility despite differences in study contexts.
