Ensure that leaders at all levels encourage help-seeking behavior and convey anti-stigma messages.
•. 
Identify and mitigate stress during the critical window of legal/law enforcement encounters and subsequent adjudication actions.
•. 
Weigh the risks and benefits of using SSRIs when treating 18- to 29-year-old patients.
•. 
Expand primary care screening of patients for behavioral health issues.
•. 
Provide monthly reporting to commanders of referrals to substance abuse programs.
•. 
Revise policies to separate all soldiers who commit two or more felony offenses, including drug- and alcohol-related offenses.
•. 
Undertake research to test whether soldiers who voluntarily enlist during wartime may be more willing to engage in high-risk behavior.
