Life Skills Training for Soldiers Arriving at Their First Duty Location

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 thoughts and 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. Soldiers arriving at their first duty location will be randomized to receive either Level Up or a single session Army bystander intervention program. Participants will complete baseline and follow up surveys 1, 3, and 6 months post-baseline.
