Enhancing Mission Wellness: Iterative Optimization and Stakeholder Engagement to Promote Sexual and Reproductive Health in the United States Military
In line with the iterative nature of MOST, the lessons learned during the optimization trial led the MARSH team to return "Mission Wellness" to the preparation phase. The utilization of mixed (i.e., qualitative and quantitative) research methods and engagement with stakeholders at multiple levels of the military enterprise provided the information necessary to further optimize "Mission Wellness." This programmatic approach also provides a blueprint for the development of research design and testing in military health care balancing rigor and agility.
