Summary
The U.S. military has implemented many programs to improve family well-being, including the Family Advocacy Program (FAP), which has a presence at all Army bases where families are stationed. This study examined the quality and consistency of the FAP's implementation. Program adherence and delivery quality were strengths of the implementation, while there was a need for improvement in referral variety and Soldier and family engagement in referral programs.
