Parental deployment and distress, and adolescent disordered eating in prevention‐seeking military dependents

Abstract

Parental military deployment can lead to stress in the family system due to concerns about the deployed service‐member's safety and increased responsibilities for those not deployed. Parent‐related stress can impact adolescent disordered eating. Given the important role that stress plays in disordered eating and obesity, it is crucial to understand the impacts of unique stressors to which vulnerable populations are exposed.
