61 Veterans who were on the registry of Gulf War I Veterans and who had obtained any type of care at the VA Boston Healthcare System completed a survey. Data was used to assess deployment-related and demographic predictors of posttraumatic growth.
Scores were compared on a self-report measure of disordered eating in a sample of Service members who either: deployed with combat exposure, deployed without combat exposure, or did not deploy.
Life stressor precipitants and communications of distress and suicide intent were examined among a sample of United States Air Force (USAF) married versus unmarried suicide decedents.
Understanding the experiences of non-deployed military spouses is important to improve services to military families.
An educational website about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was created for military family members in order to increase PTSD-related knowledge and promote actions to help Service members with their symptoms.
Although there is a perception that extramarital sex (infidelity) is more common among military and Veteran populations, there is little empirical research to support this claim.
