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.
Research has shown that perceived organizational support (POS), or how much employees believe their organizations value their contributions and well-being, is an important predictor of employee mental health outcomes.
Adolescents and their parents were surveyed about their emotion regulation strategies, emotion awareness, and adolescent negative affect in an effort to better understand how parents influence adolescent emotional development.
Social difficulties are commonly associated with anxiety disorders in youth, yet are not well specified in the literature. The aim of this study was to identify patterns of social experiences in clinically anxious children and examine the associations with indices of emotional functioning.
In this study, 268 adolescents (9th grade youth) who participated in a peer-led high school transition program were compared to youth in a control group to examine the program’s impact on high school graduation rates.
Research has consistently linked symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with relationship distress in combat veterans and their partners.
In 2012, RAND conducted a pioneering exploratory survey of 3,479 active-duty, guard, and reserve Airmen on their use of information and communication technology (ICT), the association between ICT use and social and psychological well-being, and the potential for Air Force mental health profession
In this study, explanations for why people turn to the Internet for social support are tested using a nationally representative sample of adults who sought mental health support through a traditional treatment outlet, an in-person support group, or an online support group.
Interviews and focus groups were conducted with principals, counselors, and teachers at military-connected public schools to explore the broad impact of military-connected student enrollment on schools and educators.

To better understand the differences among suicide events between Soldiers and civilians, it is important to evaluate precipitating factors.
To help understand suicide among soldiers, we compared suicide events between active duty U.S. Army versus civilian decedents to identify differences and inform military prevention efforts.
