Summary
Survey data were utilized to examine the influence of military connectedness and parental deployment on adolescent mental health (i.e., feeling sad or hopeless, suicidal ideation, well-being, and depressive symptoms). Results indicate that military connected youth reported more negative mental health symptoms, particularily among adolescence with parents who had deployed.
