Military Spouses

The decade long conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have placed considerable strain on military families.

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.

 Background The mental health functioning of military spouses and intimate partners prior to the combat deployments of their loved ones is poorly studied.

Concerned partners (CPs) of military service members and veterans with alcohol misuse face significant help-seeking barriers. We adapted the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) intervention into a 4-session web-based intervention (WBI) called Partners Connect.

A number of US military Service Members and Veterans experience heavy drinking which may impair their military readiness.

Alcohol use in the military is a significant problem.

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).

The protracted conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan and an all‐volunteer military has resulted in multiple war zone deployments for many service members.

For this study, 13 military wives were interviewed about how they decided what to share and what not to share with their deployed husbands.
