- This study examined how a combination of protective factors (e.g., social functioning, social support, resilience, absence of mental health symptoms, health functioning), and risk factors (i.e., number of deployments, traumatic combat exposure) may impact parental functioning (e.g., meeting child’s emotional needs) and parental satisfaction (e.g., closeness) among a sample of Veteran mothers (N = 711). Demographic factors (e.g., pay grade) were also considered. The impact of protective and risk factors on parenting outcomes may vary.
