The Nature and Outcomes for Women of Stressors Associated with Military Life.
Abstract
As background, in Section 1.0, we first summarize the literature on stressors and outcomes associated with stressors, focusing particularly on findings on women. We include a brief summary of those research findings that apply specifically to military women. Subsequently, we present our technical objectives, our hypotheses, and our methodology for conducting our study. Finally, we discuss our plans for manuscripts and reports and for a roundtable we will convene for the purpose of developing recommendations on strategies for reducing stressors and negative outcomes for military women. The second section of the report describes our Year 1 activities. The final section summarizes the activities we have planned for Year 2. In this section, we briefly review the research literature on sources of stress and the relationship of stress to negative outcomes, such as health and mental health problems. We also describe a model that delineates the relationship between stressors and outcomes. Included in this model are other factors that have been found to mediate the relationship between the two. We then discuss the research literature on stressors of, and stress-related outcomes for, women in the Military.
