Life Skills Training for Soldiers at First Duty Location

This study is evaluating a program called "Level Up: Boost Your Life Skills" for active duty Soldiers arriving at their first military base in the South Central U.S. The program includes a 90-minute group session and a mobile app/online platform with self-guided exercises. Another training called ENGAGE, focusing on leadership skills, is also part of the study. The main goal is to see if these programs can reduce harmful behaviors, including suicide-related behaviors, and improve mental health and job performance within 12 months. This study is for Soldiers aged 18 and older who are attending reception center activities and have a smartphone. The current recruitment status is unclear.
