  • SteelFisher, G. K., Zaslavsky, A.M., & Blendon, R. J. (2008). Health-related impact of deployment extensions on spouses of active duty Army personnel. Military Medicine, 173(3), 221-229. doi:10.7205/MILMED.173.3.221
  • Survey data from Army spouses were used to evaluate the association between Army deployment extensions and spouses’ health and well-being (e.g., depression, anxiety), deployment-induced difficulties with daily life operations (e.g., house maintenance, childcare), and perceptions of the Army during deployment. Deployment extensions negatively affected spouses’ well-being and daily life operations, as well as their perceptions of the Army.
