Baseline measures and one-year post-program recidivism data were examined from military experienced and nonmilitary men referred for an interpersonal violence intervention program to test differences regarding intimate partner violence perpetration.
Objective: Few studies have examined rates of distress of military personnel during deployment to a war zone.
National Guard Soldiers were given self-report questionnaires while deployed in a war-zone to determine their levels of PTSD and depressive symptoms, and to identify behaviors associated with emotional distress.
This study examined the relation between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) severity and aggression (verbal, psychological, and physical aggression) in a longitudinal dataset.
The authors examine the relationship between specific posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and interpersonal aggression (verbal, psychological, and physical) among male Veterans completing a residential PTSD treatment program.
Postpartum depression (PPD) affects nearly 1 in 8 mothers and has many negative implications. Studies show particular risk factors are linked with PPD. There are nearly 200,000 women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, but little is known regarding PPD and active duty (AD) mothers.
An exploratory study of rates and psychosocial risk factors (e.g., prenatal anxiety and depression, low self-esteem life stress, etc.) of postpartum depression in the military was conducted at Wilford Hall Medical Center with active duty women Service members.
Spouses of combat veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experience elevated psychological distress. Recent research indicates that spouses' perceptions of burden may be one mechanism of such distress, but there are several gaps in this literature.
Male National Guard/Reserve Service members and their female spouses participated in a study examining partner perceived burden (spousal perceptions of negative life change due to their Service member's mental health concerns) in relation to Service members' mental health problems.
