Aggression by a random sample of female soldiers (N = 1, 185) toward their employed (n = 840) and unemployed (n = 345) civilian husbands was measured by the Conflict Tactics Scale.
Rates of intimate partner violence were examined in female Active Duty Soldiers with employed and unemployed civilian husbands. Results indicate that Soldiers with unemployed husbands are more likely to both perpetrate and experience severe intimate partner violence.
We conducted semi-structured focus groups with men in the United States Air Force (N = 39) to examine fathers' access to parenting information during the transition to parenthood, and to determine methods for engaging fathers in intervention.
Fathers' access to parenting information during the transition to parenthood and how best to engage fathers in parenting intervention programs were explored.
We characterized socioeconomic disparities in short sleep duration, which is linked to multiple adverse health outcomes, in a population-based sample of veterans of the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who had interacted with the Minneapolis VA Health Care System.
Quality and duration of sleep is an important component of one's health for the general population and especially so for Veterans.
Background and Objectives: The aversive impact of combat and parents’ combatinduced posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on young children has been examined in a few studies.
An examination of secondary traumatization symptoms and parental bonding among adult children of former prisoners of war (ex-POWs' children) that were compared to adult children of comparable Veterans (controls' children).
The long-term toll of war captivity on secondary traumatization (ST) on adult children has recently been exemplified. Several studies have also revealed that indirect exposure to trauma might be accompanied by positive psychological changes.
A comparison of secondary posttraumatic growth among adult children of former prisoners of war (POWs') with adult children of comparable Veterans (controls'children) were examined.
