Summary
Military families that experience multiple deployment usually face unique challenges. This study examined the association between multiple deployment and family health of Australian Defense Force (ADF) members by having their partners answer self-report surveys. Results suggested that the adverse effects of parental absence due to deployment on children may accrue as the number of deployments increased.
