Data was collected from 670 Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom Veterans evaluated at a post-deployment clinic in New Jersey to assess the physical health functioning at several time points post-deployment.
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.
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.
