Objective:
To identify the significant predictors associated with Army Dental Corps junior officers' intent to leave (ITL) the military.
Methods:
A secondary data analysis of the 2009 Army Dental Officer Retention Survey was conducted. Frequencies, bivariate, linear, and logistic regression analyses were calculated.
Results:
Forty-six percent of junior officers completed the survey (N = 577; n = 267). Fifty-eight percent of respondents reported an ITL the military before retirement. The following variables were positively associated (p < 0.05) with ITL: unit of assignment, specialty training status or area of concentration, military lifestyle, and residency training. Age and benefits were negatively associated with ITL.
Conclusion:
This study suggests that ITL is a multifactorial issue.
