Although much is written about the impact of deployment on nondeployed spouses (NDSs) and couple relationships, few empirical studies address this directly.

There are several features of youth programs that support positive youth development. In this study, researchers utilized a participant-observer approach to examine those features in a program specifically targeted toward LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) youth.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth face a disproportionate risk of a range of problem issues such as depression and drug use (Saewyc, 2011).

Numerous geographical moves may have a negative impact on children’s mental health. This study examined the relationship between the experience of geographical moves in 2008 and military children and adolescents’ mental health care visits in 2009.
Purpose: Geographic moves have been reported to have a negative impact on the mental health of children, but it is often difficult to separate the effect of the move from the circumstances that impelled it. Military populations may offer a way to examine this issue.
