Deployment of a family member can be a significant event in the life of an adolescent. This study examined the relationship between deployment and mental health in adolescents, and considered the protective factors that school climate might have with this population.

The purpose of this project was to assess the concurrent and predictive validity of the Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES) for military service members undergoing substance abuse treatment.

Three hundred and seventy-six Active Duty officers and enlisted Service members completed questionnaires to assess the concurrent and predictive validity of the Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale for Military Service members undergoing substance abuse treatment compared to t

Objective: Our objective was to analyze the association between deployment characteristics and diagnostic rates for major depression and substance use disorder among active duty personnel.

Using a large nation-wide sample consisting of Active Duty Service members across branches from 2001 to 2006, this study examined the associations between deployment characteristics (location and length) and diagnostic rates for major depression and substance use disorder.

Objective: We assessed the relationship between active duty status and daily insufficient sleep in a telephone survey. Methods: U.S.

Given the importance of sleep in health outcomes, phone survey data were used to examine the relationship between active duty status and sleep issues. Active Duty service was associated with an increase in insufficient sleep over the past 30 days.
