The report highlights four areas to consider in future research and service development:
- What well-being means to ex-Service personnel transitioning back to civilian life
- Acceptability of interventions which may be perceived as treatment
- Further trials of the effectiveness of interventions with diverse groups of participants
- How and when low-wellbeing should be identified in Service personnel
The review looked at nine studies from the United States of America and evaluated the effectiveness of interventions for current and ex-Service personnel. Researchers found the positive effects on well-being was found in those reporting difficulties making the transition back to civilian life and their families.
