The present study seeks to model the effects of parenting stress on contentment experienced by spouses of soldiers deployed to Iraq for long periods of time (n = 200).

Survey data from a community sample of OEF/OIF/OND Veterans were used to assess the prevalence of hazardous drinking among this population. Gender differences in the risk and protective factors for hazardous drinking were also examined.

The 20 year longitudinal relationships between post traumatic symptoms and family cohesion were assessed in a group of Israeli Veterans from the 1982 Lebanon War.

It is now evident that women Veterans have increased risk of developing Post-traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD under several circumstances.

Survey data were used to examine the relationships among deployment (before and after childbirth), combat exposure, and maternal depression with a sample of female Active Duty Service members.

Background: Despite increasing numbers of women veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, few studies have examined hazardous drinking in this group.

Background: Maternal depression is a common condition among new mothers that can be associated with poor maternal health and negative consequences on infant health.

Parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are at risk for having higher stress and lower marital quality than other parents.

This study investigates unintended negative effects of health communication campaigns surrounding intimate-partner violence.

When a service member is injured or dies in a combat zone, the consequences for his or her family can be profound and long-lasting.

Computerized neurocognitive testing (NCAT) has been proposed to be useful as a screening tool for post-deployment cognitive deficits in the setting of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

Associations between length of deployment, parenting stress, family coping, and sense of coherence on contentment among Army spouses of deployed Service members were explored. Coherence was defined as perception of comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness in daily life.

Objective: Distressed marriages enhance risk for a variety of health problems. Immune dysregulation is one potential mechanism; cross-sectional studies have demonstrated that marital distress is linked to maladaptive immune alterations.

Transgender individuals have unique needs within various environments. This study used qualitative methods to identify factors that helped transgender individuals experience resilience and thrive within college environments.

The current article is a qualitative study of the daily lived experiences of resilience that trans youth have as they engage in self-advocacy within their college environments.

Purpose.

BACKGROUND: The changing scope of women’s roles in combat operations has led to growing interest in women’s deployment experiences and post-deployment adjustment.

An exploration of U.S. Army Reservists’ concerns and obstacles to returning to the civilian workforce following a combat deployment was conducted.

A longitudinal, qualitative study was conducted with United States (US) Army reservists to explore the concerns and obstacles in the process of returning to the civilian workforce following a combat deployment.

Changes in military female spouses' relationship satisfaction were assessed over the course of a deployment cycle (pre-deployment, deployment, and post-deployment) via a combination of self-report questionnaires and interviews.

Recent research demonstrates that it is the quality rather than the frequency of social networking experiences that places individuals at risk for negative mental health outcomes. However, the mechanisms that account for this association have yet to be examined.

Administrative data were used to examine rates of, and risk factors for, abusive head trauma, a type of physical child abuse, among military families with infants 12 months old or younger. The rates of infant abusive head trauma are similar to civilian rates.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the rate of, and risk factors for, abusive head trauma (AHT) among infants born to military families and compare with civilian population rates.

Objective:Many geographic locations are without services and staff available to provide treatment for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Although there is a perception that extramarital sex (infidelity) is more common among military and Veteran populations, there is little empirical research to support this claim.
