Forces in Mind Trust has awarded £97,000 to the King’s Centre for Military Health Research (KCMHR) at King’s College London for a new research project exploring the impact of military life on the partners of veterans and military personnel.

The study will explore influences on lifestyle behaviours, including exercise, diet, smoking and alcohol, and identify interventions which could be used with this population.

The research team, based at the KCHMR, will be led by Dr Rachael Gribble. The study will begin recruiting in autumn 2022 and is expected to run for 18 months.
