- Tarney, C. M., Berry-Caban, C., Jain, R. B., Kelly, M., Sewell, M. F., & Wilson, K. L. (2015). Association of spouse deployment on pregnancy outcomes in a U.S. Military population. Obstetrics & Gynecology, 126(3), 569-574. doi:10.1097/AOG.0000000000001003
- Relationships between spousal deployment, maternal outcomes, and neonatal outcomes were examined via chart review and surveys of 397 pregnant women. Pregnant women with a deployed spouse had a greater risk of preterm delivery and postpartum depression than women whose husbands were not deployed during pregnancy. No significant findings were found between the deployed and non-deployed groups regarding neonatal outcomes (e.g., birth weight).
