The Temporal Relationship Between Intrafamilial Violence, Deployment, and Serious Mental Illness in US Army Service Members

Abstract

The high deployment tempo of the last decade has created unique stressors on military families. While military families themselves are not at increased risk for intrafamilial violence during peacetime, there is evidence that cycles of deployment may increase this risk. Prior data has demonstrated a cross-sectional association between deployment and intrafamilial violence, but there remains a great need to understand the temporal relationship between these factors, the specific personnel at greatest risk, and how such information can lead to better targeting of preventative resources.
