Although sexual behaviors have been extensively studied among youth in general, they have been relatively understudied among military-dependent youth (MDY).
Among the relatively understudied military-dependent youth population the prevalence of sexual behaviors and the association between these behaviors and unique military stressors such as parental deployment and multiple relocations were analyzed.
In the families of the new cohort of war veterans now entering the civilian population in the United States are over two million young children (Cozza, Haskins & Lerner, 2013; Institute of Medicine, 2013).
Children of Service members who have experienced combat-related deployments are at increased risk for a variety of negative outcomes. This study sought to examine risk and promotive factors and the likelihood of negative outcomes in children aged 0 to 10 years.
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) creates many challenges for families as well as for patients. Few intervention studies have considered both the needs of the person with TBI and his or her family and included both in the intervention process.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) creates challenges for both patients and their family members, yet few intervention programs have taken the needs of the whole family into consideration. This study examined the effectiveness of the Veterans' In-home Program on family member's well-being.
Objective: We evaluated the efficacy of the Strength at Home Men’s Program (SAH-M), a trauma-informed group intervention based on a social information processing model to end intimate partner violence (IPV) use in a sample of veterans/service members and their partners.
Evaluation of the efficacy of the Strength at Home Men's Program (SAH-M), a group intervention program designed to end intimate partner violence (IPV), was conducted.
The purpose of the current study was to understand the experiences of a subset of military couples regarding the effects of war deployment on couple functioning.
A greater understanding of the effects of war deployment on military couple functioning was explored. The Couple Adaptation to Traumatic Stress (CATS) theoretical model was utilized as a frame to analyze couple interviews.
