Summary
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be a concern for Service members and their families. This study considered the impact of PTSD on the effectiveness of a 14-week parenting intervention for Service members and their spouses. Parenting behaviors measured included problem-solving, encouragement, monitoring, positive involvement, and harsh discipline. Findings indicate that the parenting intervention was more effective for some parents than others.
