The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of mental health symptoms in a cohort of Dutch military personnel prior to and at multiple time-points after deployment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0924933800191199_abs2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Military personnel (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 994) completed various questionnaires at 5 time-points; starting prior to deployment and following the same cohort at 1 and 6 months and 1 and 2 years after their return from Afghanistan.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0924933800191199_abs3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of symptoms of fatigue, PTSD, hostility, depression and anxiety was found to significantly increase after deployment compared with pre-deployment rates.
