Service Members

Previous studies have implicated significant differences between military members and civilians with regard to violent behavior, including suicide, domestic violence, and harm to others, but none have examined military murder-suicide.

Military members and civilians have different patterns of violent behaviors; however, little is known about the differences between military members and civilians who perpetrated murder-suicide (i.e., a person kills someone[s] and then commits suicide within one day).

Dietary supplement use (protein/amino acids, weight-loss supplements, performance enhancers) is common among U.S. military members.

This study examined patterns of violence victimization and aggression in both intimate partner and nonpartner relationships among U.S. military veterans using latent profile analysis to identify subtypes of violence involvement.

To provide effective violence prevention services for Veterans post-deployment, it is important to understand the nature of violence experienced by Veterans. This study investigated the patterns and forms of violence experienced by Veterans with both intimate partners and non-intimate partners.

Objective: In this article, we report findings from a 1-year longitudinal study examining the impact of change in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms following combat deployment on National Guard soldiers’ perceived parenting and couple adjustment 1 year following return from Iraq.

National Guard members' relationships with their partners and children can be impacted by military life.
