Among subjects with at least one PreDHA available for analysis and completed within the 90 days prior to deployment, those with a recent mental health disorder diagnosis also had greater odds of completing multiple PreDHA in the 90 days prior to deployment (OR = 1.19, 95% CI 0.93 - 1.52) than of completing only one, but this also did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.177, χ 2 = 1.83).
