Development and Validation of the Veteran Military Occupational and Environmental Exposure Assessment Tool
VMOAT development supports the 2022 Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act and fits into the existing VA exposure assessment approach as a standardized, comprehensive self-reported exposure assessment tool. It can be utilized as a stand-alone instrument or supplemented by clinician interviews in research or specialty evaluation programs. The collected VMOAT self-report information on military occupational and environmental exposures will allow direct evaluation with objective measures of exposure and health outcomes. These data outcomes have a high potential to guide the DoD and VA environmental exposure risk mitigation and risk communication efforts.
