Abstract Created by REACH
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.
