Differences between Veterans in treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who are violent and those who are non-violent towards their partners were examined.
Stress related to military deployment among Italian peacekeepers and their families is reportedly often denied or minimized by Italian military officials.
Intervention for military families that experience multiple deployment and with young children (two to five years old) is relatively understudied. This research examined whether military families with young children would benefit from a multimedia kit especially designed for military children.
Repeated military deployments have been a common experience for many military families in the past 15 years.
Adolescents in military families deal with stressors experienced by all adolescents as well as stressors inherent to having a Service member as a parent. This study explored the coping styles used by adolescents in Active Duty Army families.
Recent international studies have confirmed that peacekeeping deployment of a parent exacts a toll on partner and family, but little is known about how deployment-related stress impacts on Italian military families.
Objective: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often undermines community re-integration, impairs functioning and produces other symptoms.
Research shows that lower negative reintegration attitudes relate to lower levels of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among service members. Furthermore, mission preparedness has been shown to buffer the effects of combat exposure on PTSD development.
This study examined whether laboratory exposure to traumatic reminders potentiated the relationship between veterans’ posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and intimate partner aggression (IPA) articulations elicited during an anger-induction task.
Background: Deployment can put soldiers at risk of developing post-traumatic stress symptoms. Despite several longitudinal studies, little is known about the timing of an increase in post-traumatic stress symptoms relative to predeployment.
Few studies have examined whether parenting prevention programs might mitigate risk for suicidality in parents, yet parent suicidality is a strong risk factor for offspring suicidality.
The relationship between individual- and family-level characteristics and engagement in predeployment preparation activities was examined. Military families indicated higher engagement in financial and legal deployment preparation, particularly among Active Duty personnel.
Service members who are deployed are at risk for developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
Services (e.g., educational, social, health programs) and social supports are very important for the well-being of families of youth with disabilities.

Intentional self-regulatory, or goal-directed, skills are essential for positivesocial relationships, success, and well-being during adolescence. Priortheory has suggested that mentoring relationships may provide a keyresource for building these skills.
Interpersonal resources (e.g., having someone to count on, getting and receiving guidance, sharing activities and interests) are vital to individuals’ well-being.
Different types of sexual trauma during deployment were analyzed to explore possible links to suicidal ideation.
Children of Service members who have experienced combat-related deployments are at increased risk for a variety of negative outcomes. This study sought to examine risk and promotive factors and the likelihood of negative outcomes in children aged 0 to 10 years.
The goal of this Forum on Health and National Security was to address financial stress in the lives of servicemembers and identify knowledge gaps and opportunities for gaining new knowledge that can lead to new and improved intervention programs.

Relating to adolescent children can be challenging for parents, and yet children’s perceptions of positive parent–child relationships are protective against deleterious outcomes.
Students experienced a mindfulness program designed to enhance their self-regulation in prekindergarten and kindergarten.
Objective: This study's objective was to evaluate the effect of two common components of meditation (mindfulness and slow breathing) on potential mechanistic pathways.
The diagnosis of a child with autism has short- and long-term impacts on family functioning. With early diagnosis, the diagnostic process is likely to co-occur with family planning decisions, yet little is known about how parents navigate this process.
The past decade has seen a rise in both economic insecurity and frequency of physical pain. The current research reveals a causal connection between these two growing and consequential social trends.
The purpose of our study was to learn about barriers to participation faced by families who had signed up for but not completed a community-based parenting program that was not part of a research project.
Issues surrounding mental health are common for women veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The goal of this phenomenological study was to document themes in the stories gathered from eight women veterans who had come back from war.
