Middle Childhood (5-12 years)

In the families of the new cohort of war veterans now entering the civilian population in the United States are over two million young children (Cozza, Haskins & Lerner, 2013; Institute of Medicine, 2013).

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.
