About the study

This project will evaluate the effectiveness of Level Up: Boost Your Life Skills ("Level Up"), a strengths based, military-specific life skills training program. The goal is to determine whether Level Up can decrease suicidal-related behaviors (SRBs) and other harmful behaviors, improve mental health, enhance job performance, and reduce early military separation. The Level Up program components will be made available to participants through an online platform or mobile app that can be downloaded onto their personal mobile devices. These training materials will help Soldiers learn and practice skills. The Level Up program will also involve personalized messages from a Level Up trainer and virtual booster sessions. Active duty Soldiers who are currently stationed at Fort Hood, Texas and are members of a participating platoon will be randomized to receive either Level Up or Training as Usual (TAU). Participants will complete baseline and follow up surveys 1, 3, and 6 months post-baseline.
