Readiness Supportive Leadership Training (RESULT)

March 20, 2025 updated by: Leslie Hammer, Oregon Health and Science University

Behavioral Health & Resilience Training for Military Leaders

This study is a randomized controlled trial that assesses the effects of an evidence based, multi-component, leadership support intervention, Resilience-Supportive Leadership Training (RESULT), using accelerated learning strategies aimed at improving Service Member resilience and readiness in the military.

The intervention is expected to increase perceptions of resilience-supportive behaviors, resilience indicators, and related behavioral health outcomes such as emotion regulation, connectedness, team cohesion, and psychological health following the training from the perspective of the Service Member.

Detailed Description

The goal of our proposed study is to adapt our existing, evidence-based supportive leadership training for an active duty population, focusing on training junior leaders in the Army on ways they can enhance readiness and resilience in their soldiers, as well as their own resilience. The investigators draw on best practices from existing military and civilian programs in a training that is engaging, interactive, and customizable. The investigators use micro-learnings - small, bite-sized pieces of information delivered in non-traditional ways, such as short podcasts or videos to enhance the training and enable it to be integrated easily into both military and civilian jobs.

The investigators evaluate the effectiveness of our Resilience-Supportive Leadership Training (RESULT) intervention with U.S. Army soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in the State of Washington. The study includes a control group, so the investigators can better determine whether any observed changes in our participants are due to our training programs, and not some other factor. The investigators anticipate that the training programs will have a positive impact on service member readiness and resilience, psychological health, team cohesion, and reduced loneliness.

This research is designed to benefit not only U.S. Army soldiers but across all military branches, as well as first-responders and other civilian occupations that face highly stressful situations as part of their work. Our training has the potential to positively contribute to the military by enhancing service member readiness and unit autonomy, and improving mental and physical health.
