The Millennium Cohort Study is an ongoing longitudinal cohort study headquartered at the Naval Health Research Center in San Diego, California and designed to evaluate any long-term health effects of military service, including deployments.[1] It is the largest population-based prospective health project in US military history,[2][3][4] currently collecting data on over 200,000 enrolled participants. Investigators that conduct the Millennium Cohort Study include uniformed and non-uniformed scientists from the Army,[5] Navy,[6] Air Force,[7]Department of Veterans Affairs[8] and academic institutions.[9][10]
