Family Adjustment of Deployed and Nondeployed Mothers in Families with A Parent Deployed To Iraq or Afghanistan

There is limited research on the family and individual adjustment of military mothers who have deployed to conflicts in Iraq or Afghanistan (OIF, OEF, OND). An analysis of baseline data on maternal, child, parenting, and couple adjustment for mothers in 181 families in which a parent deployed to OIF/OEF/OND was conducted. Overall, differences were found between deployed and non-deployed mothers on individual and family dimensions.
