Summary
Veterans' family relationships may be impacted by deployment and its effects on Veteran mental and physical health. The effects of Veteran deployment, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and physical health problems on child functioning and intimate partner relationship functioning were examined. PTSD and physical health problems, but not deployment, were associated with Veterans' report of child functioning and partner relationship functioning problems.
