The Social Acknowledgment Questionnaire (SAQ; Maercker & Mueller, 2004) is a measure of trauma survivors’ perceptions of social acknowledgment and disapproval from others, and these factors are shown to be associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among civilian trauma survivors.
An investigation of treatment-seeking Veterans' and the associations between perceived social reactions to their trauma-related experiences and their mental health diagnosis was conducted.
Objective: We evaluated the efficacy of the Strength at Home Men’s Program (SAH-M), a trauma-informed group intervention based on a social information processing model to end intimate partner violence (IPV) use in a sample of veterans/service members and their partners.
Evaluation of the efficacy of the Strength at Home Men's Program (SAH-M), a group intervention program designed to end intimate partner violence (IPV), was conducted.
The belief that enlisted military divorce rates are unusually high is a recurring theme expressed among those living in the military community, yet quantitative data on military divorce rates remain a virtual lacuna.
An assessment of the divorce rates of military personnel was conducted. This study used the military data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) and conducted a multivariate analysis of divorce rates among young military couples.
Military personnel can be exposed to a wide range of sexual trauma while deployed, including sexual harassment and sexual assault.
Different types of sexual trauma during deployment were analyzed to explore possible links to suicidal ideation.
Background: More Reserve and Guard members have been activated in the past few years than in any other time in history. In addition to the high rates of psychological and behavioral challenges among military personnel, there are other equally important post-deployment reintegration challenges.
National Guard Soldiers are at risk for a number of post-deployment challenges in part due to the rapid transition from civilian to military to civilian duties.
