Summary
An examination of 318 single (n = 74) and partnered (n = 244) parents exposure to family-related stressors during and after deployment and post-deployment psychological symptoms was conducted. The sample included Veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Findings suggest that the deployment and post-deployment experiences of parents differ based on their partnered status.
