The year-long project was funded by the Forces in Mind Trust and is the first in a two-phase project, with findings influencing a pilot project which would be the second phase.
Victoria Fussey of the Behavioural Insights Team said: “The move to civilian life can be hard for people leaving the Forces, as well as their families. Through this project, we’ve gained a better understanding of how they experience transition and suggested ways that designing services based on this understanding and the science of human behaviour and decision making can be used to improve the process.”
