Abstract Created by REACH
While ample research has examined the effects of deployment on Service members and their spouses and
children, few studies have examined the experiences of Service members' parents. The health behaviors and psychological
distress of mothers of deployed male Marines were compared to mothers of non-deployed Marines. Mothers of deployed
Marines had higher psychological distress, but not more negative health behaviors, than mothers of non-deployed
Marines.
