The study highlights a brief 6-item assessment tool that can quickly and efficiently be added to the current validated health and well-being measures for military personnel. This brief assessment can provide a measure of knowledge, skills, and confidence regarding ehealth information leading to better-informed health care decisions in the military context. These findings are especially relevant given the military's current emphasis on modernization and the need to put people first in order to build the overall team and improve unit effectiveness.
