Importance: Disruptive behavior is common in children with autism spectrum disorder. Behavioral interventions are used to treat disruptive behavior but have not been evaluated in large-scale randomized trials.
Children with autism spectrum disorder often show disruptive and noncompliance behaviors and many parents may need support as they deal with these behaviors.
This study explored the impact of multiple deployments on the health and well-being of the partners (married or de facto) and children of Australian military personnel who have deployed frequently.
Military families that experience multiple deployment usually face unique challenges. This study examined the association between multiple deployment and family health of Australian Defense Force (ADF) members by having their partners answer self-report surveys.
The purpose of this study was to determine the deterrents to participation by adults in parenting education programs.
While many parenting education programs have been shown to improve parenting skills and behaviors, programs often have difficulty getting parent participation. This study surveyed parents of children in daycare about demographic information and deterrents to participating in parent education.
With rising numbers of student Veterans on today’s college campuses, multicultural competence in college counseling centers increasingly includes an understanding of military culture and its relation to the psychological health and functioning of student Veterans.
Iraq and Afghanistan student Veterans participated in a study examining the contributions of coping style and family social support on mental health symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress).
The consequences of deployment extend beyond the service member to impact the entire family. The current investigation evaluated the unique challenges of family reintegration for partnered service members using a prospective design.
Seventy-six partnered Air Force Service members were evaluated to determine correlates of family reintegration challenges. Service members reported on relationship functioning, communication, mental health, and reintegration challenges.
