Summary
Post-deployment can be a challenging time for Service members and their families. The relationships between family functioning and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use in Veterans were explored. Results suggest that existence of alcohol use and individual PTSD symptoms can have a negative impact on different aspects of family functioning.
