The research on highly mobile military adolescents has produced mixed findings.

Qualitative data from students, parents, and school staff were used to examine transition-related stressors experienced by mobile military students (i.e., those who experience multiple military-related moves), the efforts utilized to help these students cope with stress, and to identify strategie

Family involvement contributes to student success, and family-school communication (FSC) is intended to promote parent involvement; however, little is known about the communication processes that enlist that involvement.

This qualitative study used an ecological framework to explore educator perceptions of family-school communication at two elementary schools serving U.S. Military families.

Military children experience a variety of military-specific stressors. Stressors include repeated geographic relocation and parental separation, both of which can negatively affect social, emotional, psychological, and academic outcomes.

School administrators from the Building Capacity Consortium schools (140 schools dedicated to developing military friendly school environments) were surveyed to uncover how they understand the needs of military connected students and actions their school takes to address those needs.

This study applied the relational turbulence model to the communication of U.S. service members and at-home partners following the return from a tour of duty by evaluating three turbulence markers: (a) relational maintenance, (b) partner responsiveness, and (c) turmoil appraisals.

Researchers examined how the relational turbulence model applied to post-deployment couple reunions.

Deployment-based separations, during which military spouses' communication is limited and their uncertainty heightened, present numerous challenges to spouses' enactment of relational maintenance.

The author of this article conducted interviews with civilian wives of military Service members in order to illustrate the ways in which partners maintain their relationships during deployment and what factors affect relationship maintenance.
