Impact of Service Member Death on Military Families: A National Study of Bereavement

Abstract

The present study will examine various factors that influence the military family bereavement process. The information obtained will inform future prevention and intervention strategies to promote military family health and resilience. Thus far, during Year 1, all study researchers and staff have been hired (except one field researcher and a biostatistician). The study design and methodology have been finalized. We have also obtained IRB approval for Prong 1 (both USUHS and HRPO) and Prongs 2-4 (USUHS, with stipulations). We have begun preliminary data analysis of national datasets and are planning to present final results in several outlets. Finally, we have successfully generated strong interest from a number of community and military organizations who have provided letters of support and will assist in advertising for and recruitment of study participants.
