Aims:
This task aims to develop and validate a measure (i.e., checklist) through which flight surgeons can systematically evaluate symptoms of adverse neurobehavioral conditions that may occur over long-duration exploration missions.

Aim 1: To summarize available evidence of psychological and behavioral symptoms experienced in isolated, confined, extreme (ICE) environments and exploration spaceflight based on comprehensive literature reviews and interviews with subject matter experts.

Aim 2: To define and compare the prevalence, severity, and duration of discrete psychological/behavioral symptoms experienced among HERA and Antarctic winterover cohorts, including concurrent and sequential overlap with physical health symptoms.

Aim 3: To explore relationships among cognitive/perception performance, sleep patterns and biomarkers of stress with psychological and behavioral symptoms in ICE environments.

Mappings

Risk of Adverse Cognitive or Behavioral Conditions and Psychiatric Disorders

CBS-BMed3: We need to identify and quantify the key threats to and promoters of mission relevant behavioral health and performance during autonomous, long duration and/or long distance exploration missions.

CBS-BMed6: We need to identify and validate effective treatments for adverse behavioral conditions and psychiatric disorders during exploration class missions.

Characterization of Psychological Risk, Overlap with Physical Health, and Associated Performance in Isolated, Confined, Extreme (ICE) Environments

Risk of Performance Decrements and Adverse Health Outcomes Resulting from Sleep Loss, Circadian Desynchronization, and Work Overload

Sleep Gap 4: We need to identify indicators of individual vulnerabilities and resiliencies to sleep loss and circadian rhythm disruption, to aid with individualized countermeasure regimens, for autonomous, long duration and/or distance exploration missions.
