Existing evidence suggests that military veterans with mental health disorders have poorer family functioning, although little research has focused on this topic.

Despite significant stressors facing military families over the past 15 years of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, no parenting programs adapted or developed for military families with school-aged children have been rigorously tested.

Parenting programs are important for military parents who experienced deployment and have school-age children, but little is known about the effectiveness of such programs.
