MORGANTOWN -
More than 8,000 post cards have been mailed to veterans encouraging them to take part in the 2012 West Virginia Military Survey.
Joseph Scotti, a professor of psychology at West Virginia University, told the Legislature's interim Veterans Affairs committee that the postcards were mailed during the first week of October. In addition, the website www.wvmilitarysurvey.com has seen more than 500 unique visitors. As of Oct. 8, more than 200 surveys had been completed, and the majority of those who started the hour-long survey completed it.
Scotti said the survey includes 10 sections, including demographics and background, healthy behaviors, physical and mental health concerns, family relationships, health benefits and military experience. The survey is anonymous and voluntary.
Although some questions deal with dark topics such as post traumatic stress disorder and suicide, Scotti said he has received mostly favorable feedback from survey participants. Scotti said thousands of additional postcards will be mailed in the coming weeks, and he and Keith Gwinn, secretary of the West Virginia Department of Veterans Assistance, have been in touch with colleges and universities across the state to encourage participation.
