Previously, McLeland and Sutton (2005) assessed marital satisfaction among 46 male civilians and Reserve Component personnel, some of the latter having been alerted for a future deployment.
The relationship between symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in male Veterans from different service eras and their female partners' desire for change in the relationship was examined.
Background: Maternal depression is a common condition among new mothers that can be associated with poor maternal health and negative consequences on infant health.
Survey data were used to examine the relationships among deployment (before and after childbirth), combat exposure, and maternal depression with a sample of female Active Duty Service members.
When military service members separate from the military, many return to their families of origin, living with their parents for a period of several weeks to years.
Interview data of Veterans living with their parents after separating from the military were utilized to explore their reintegration experiences.
Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) consistently evidence higher rates of intimate partner aggression perpetration than veterans without PTSD, but most studies have examined rates of aggression among Vietnam veterans several years after their deployment.
Self-reported data were used to compare rates of intimate partner violence among OEF/OIF Veterans with and without posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Vietnam Veterans with PTSD.
BACKGROUND: Military deployment of one or both parents is associated with declines in school performance, behavioral difficulties, and increases in reported mental health conditions, but less is known regarding injury risks in pediatric military dependents.
In this epidemiological study, researchers examined injury in infants, children, and adolescents of military and nonmilitary parents. Injury-related hospital admissions were approximately 20% higher among military youth than their civilian counterparts.
