- Interian, A., Kline, A., Janal, M., Glynn, S., & Losonczy, M. (2014). Multiple deployments and combat trauma: Do homefront stressors increase the risk for posttraumatic stress symptoms? Journal of Traumatic Stress, 27(1), 90-97. doi:10.1002/jts.21885
- This study examined the role of homefront stressors (such as family or occupational problems) in postraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms prior to and after a new Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) deployment for 196 U.S. National Guard Soldiers. A pattern of chronic homefront stressors both preand post-deployment was associated with a higher risk of post-deployment PTSD symptoms.
