Twenty Reserve component (Army and Marines) and Army National Guard male veterans of Operational Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom discuss their deployment and postdeployment family reintegration experiences.
Background The mental health functioning of military spouses and intimate partners prior to the combat deployments of their loved ones is poorly studied.
Objective: The success of the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is dependent on the ability of volunteers to respond in a timely and effective manner.
Concerned partners (CPs) of military service members and veterans with alcohol misuse face significant help-seeking barriers. We adapted the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) intervention into a 4-session web-based intervention (WBI) called Partners Connect.
A number of US military Service Members and Veterans experience heavy drinking which may impair their military readiness.
Objective:This research documents the impact of combat experiences on alcohol use and misuse among National Guard soldiers.
Military personnel commonly experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), both of which are associated with premature mortality.
Difficulty in driving after deployment has emerged as an impediment for servicemembers returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF–OEF).
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate if and to what extent student service members/veterans differ from civilian college students in the prevalence of self-reported symptoms of poor mental health.
