This article describes the development of an inventory to assess key psychosocial risk and resilience factors for military personnel and veterans deployed to war zones or other hazardous environments. Part 1 details the definition and operationalization of the 14 constructs: 2 predeployment factors (e.g., childhood family environment), 10 deployment or war-zone factors (e.g., concerns about life and family disruptions, deployment social support, combat experiences), and 2 postdeployment factors (e.g., postdeployment stressors). In Parts 2 and 3, data from 2 separate national samples of Gulf War veterans were used to refine item sets and establish estimates of internal consistency reliability. Part 4 employed a 3rd new national sample of Gulf War veterans to document evidence for validity in terms of relations with mental and physical health.
