Method evidence record

Soldier Adaptation Measure

The Soldier Adaptation Measure is a brief self-report instrument assessing psychological readiness and adaptation to military deployment. Developed by Bliese and colleagues in the context of military mental health surveillance, it measures dimensions of military motivation, unit cohesion, perceived leadership, and psychological well-being during deployment. It is used in pre-deployment, mid-deployment, and post-deployment screening to identify service members struggling with psychological adjustment and to inform unit support and individual intervention.
