In-depth interviews with male Veterans from Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) and used to explore the reasons for miscommunication during deployment between Service members and their civilian family members.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of domestic violence and the characteristics of pregnant women reporting domestic violence in a military setting.
Women were asked to complete a confidential domestic abuse screener during a routine prenatal visit at a Naval medical center. Data were used to estimate the prevalence of domestic violence and the characteristics of pregnant women reporting domestic violence.
Premature termination (PT) has been identified as widespread in individual, family, and couple therapy. Unfortunately, research on PT utilizes numerous definitions of PT without providing guidance on which definition may be most clinically useful.
Pre- and post-survey data for Veterans and their spouses were used to examine the frequency of premature termination (PT) of treatment for couples in therapy.
Significant rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration have been identified among men with military backgrounds.
Baseline measures and one-year post-program recidivism data were examined from military experienced and nonmilitary men referred for an interpersonal violence intervention program to test differences regarding intimate partner violence perpetration.
Objective: Few studies have examined rates of distress of military personnel during deployment to a war zone.
National Guard Soldiers were given self-report questionnaires while deployed in a war-zone to determine their levels of PTSD and depressive symptoms, and to identify behaviors associated with emotional distress.
We used an anonymous self-reported questionnaire to assess posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, relationship concerns, and treatment preferences including interest in family-focused interventions among 100 National Guard Soldiers who were recently redeployed from Iraq or Afghanistan.
