Summary
Young children of Active Duty military parents participated in a study assessing the impact of parental deployment and combat injury on children’s mental health, injuries, and maltreatment. Young children of deployed and combat-injured military parents had more ambulatory care visits for mental health, injuries, and child maltreatment after their military parent returned from deployment.
