Family Adaptation in the Military

Abstract

This research supports The Army Family Action Plans (1984-1989) by providing new information on family adaptation to military leaders and policymakers and generating hypotheses to be evaluated in the Army Family Research Program (AFRP). Findings were summarized for the different AFRP investigations, which have included research and literature reviews, model development, primary and secondary analysis of available data sets, consultations, and field interviews. Indicators of family adaptation are found to vary by individual, family, work, and community characteristics such as informal support networks, military support services, and military leadership support.
