FOR Military spouses and partners
Are you experiencing transition from military to civilian life?
​
My name is Kristin Anderson-Cronin and I am completing my Doctorate of Science in Nursing degree with a specialty in Veteran and Military Healthcare and Leadership. In collaboration with Zero8Hundred, we are conducting a survey to learn more about your lived experience during your time of transition. The time of transition is defined as the 12 months prior to and up to 12 months after military separation. Results will be used to see what may be able to be done to make changes in the future.
Please note: No personal information will be reported and you can exit the survey at any time.
