Recidivism by spouse abusers was investigated using records of offenders in the U.S. Army Central Registry. Recidivism by gender and military status (active-duty or civilian spouse) was compared over a 70-month period.
It is important to understand what factors contribute to recurrent spouse abuse. By analyzing data from the U.S. Army Central Registry, the study examined elements that were associated with spouse abuse recidivism in military families.
The impact of family military involvement on adolescent mental health and substance abuse is well established, but little is known about other behavioral health outcomes such as physical fighting.
The relationship between family military involvement and physical fighting in a representative sample of 3,928 high school students was conducted.
Transactional cascades among child internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and fathers’ and mothers’ posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms were examined in a sample of families with a male parent who had been deployed to recent military conflicts in the Middle East.
The effects of parent combat exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms can impact families long after deployment.
Military veterans are among those most affected by posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to combat-related experiences and are often reluctant to seek long-term services.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following deployment is often associated with distress, not just in Service members, but also in their partners.
PURPOSE: To explore the experiences of military spouses living with veterans with combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Spouses are often a main source of support for Veterans and may be strongly impacted by Veterans' symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Female spouses of Veterans with PTSD were interviewed about what it was like living with a Veteran with PTSD.
