- This study compared major depressive episode (i.e., MDE) experiences and use of mental health services across military-connected adolescents (i.e., those with a sibling or parent currently serving) and their peers without military connections. A sample of 48,211 adolescents reported on their experiences of MDEs (i.e., within their lifetime and past year, as well as degree of impairment across life domains) and their use of mental health services (i.e., specialty inpatient, specialty outpatient, nonspecialty services). Adolescent siblings of Service members may be at an increased risk for mental health challenges.
