Web-based self-care resources have a number of potential benefits for military service members (SMs) and their families such as convenience, anonymity, and immediate 24/7 access to useful information.
Several self-care web-based resources are available online, and patients may find these resources useful as a quick source of information or as a supplement to an appointment with a physician.
Objective: Parental deployment is associated with children's increased mental health needs. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common pediatric mental health diagnosis.
Children of Service members often experience added stress and disruption during deployment, which can be especially difficult for youth with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of spousal deployment during the antenatal period on maternal and neonatal outcomes and to estimate whether group prenatal care may be beneficial in reducing adverse outcomes when spouses are deployed.
Relationships between spousal deployment, maternal outcomes, and neonatal outcomes were examined via chart review and surveys of 397 pregnant women.
Background: U.S. Armed Forces members and spouses report increased stress associated with combat deployment. It is unknown, however, whether these deployment stressors lead to increased dependent medication use and health care utilization.
Health care records of 55,000 non-pregnant spouses and 137,000 children of deployed Active Duty U.S. Army personnel were compared to records of spouses and children of non-deployed Soldiers to study changes in dependent health care utilization during deployment.
