HMS TECHNOLOGIES is honored to support the National Health Study for a New Generation of U.S. Veterans study.
National Health Study for a New Generation of U.S. VeteransThe U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is conducting the National Health Study for a New Generation of U.S. Veterans, a health surveillance study of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) veterans and those who served elsewhere during the same time period. This survey is one of the largest scientific research studies ever undertaken on the health of recent veterans. Through postal and on-line questionnaire surveys with 60,000 veterans, the VA is collecting information that will be used to find out about the health of the new generation of U.S. veterans, and why any health problems may have occurred. HMS TECHNOLOGIES INC., a Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, along with Health Research and Analysis, LLC and ABT SRBI, Inc., has been contracted by the VA to support this National Health Study for a New Generation of U.S. Veterans.
