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.

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.
Background: Although military families worldwide face changes that include adapting to peace and wartime deployments, few studies have explored how military families adapt to the post-deployment return of a service member.

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.
