Tina Luse an Epidemiologist with the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health
Center (NMCPHC) (Right) and other members of the NMCPHC Health Analysis
department and Epidemiology Data Center, listen to remarks from U.S. Navy
Rear Adm. Bruce Gillingham, the surgeon general of the Navy, during his
visit, Oct. 22. Luse is one of the many subject matter experts who helped
develop policy to assist Navy leader's decision-making during COVID. Some
policies, which may extend deployments to quarantine crews, are successfully
keeping Sailors and their families virus-free. However, Luse and her
colleagues also track issues such as suicide, Post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD), alcohol abuse, adjustment disorder, and Traumatic Bain Injury (TBI)
and provide regular reports to both Navy and Marine Corps leadership.
Because of their efforts Gillingham has deployed mental health professionals
to the Fleet to support the well-being of Sailors and Marines. (U.S. Navy Photo by Mass Communication Specialist Jessica Dowell/Released)
