Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory-2 (DRRI-2)

 

Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory-2 (DRRI-2)

The Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory-2 (DRRI-2) is a suite of 17 individual scales that assess key deployment-related risk and resilience factors with demonstrated implications for Veterans' post-deployment health. For more information, read the DRRI history and development. The DRRI-2 can also be used clinically. The DRRI-2 includes the following scales:

Predeployment Factors

Deployment Factors

Postdeployment Factors

Short Form

To date, the DRRI-2 includes one short form measure. The Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory-2 Warfare Exposure—Short Form (DRRI-2 WE-SF) is a self-report exposure measure that was developed from two DRRI-2 scales (Combat Experiences and Warfare Aftermath of Battle). This short form includes 9 items that measure direct exposures to warfare and its consequences. Additional information on this short form measure is available here: Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory-2 Warfare Exposure—Short Form (DRRI-2 WE-SF).
