Multiple adjustment difficulties have been associated with exposure to recent parental deployments among the 2 million children whose military parents have been deployed since 2001. Exposures to parental wartime deployments also may have long-term consequences for children, but these have not yet been systematically studied. The consequences of early exposures may be particularly evident around adolescence, when young people make decisions that are highly consequential for their later functioning. The proposed study will assess the direct and indirect effects of early exposures to parental deployments and later youth adjustment. Parents’ psychological health and family processes will be examined as mediators, and parents’ and children’s vulnerability and support will also be examined as factors that could modulate relationships between parental deployment and youth adjustment. Archival data including demographic, deployment, and medical records will be combined with new data gathered from two children and up to two parents in 513 families where children will be aged 11 to 16 at the launch of data collection. Children will have experienced at least one parental deployment lasting at least 30 days, at least one child prior to age 6. Data will be gathered via interviews, surveys, and observation of family interaction tasks conducted during home visits. Outcomes will be indicators of children’s social-emotional development, behavior, and academic performance. Analyses will examine variability both within and between families over time, taking into account the dependent nature of within-family data. Innovative features of this study are that it will include participants who have left military service as well as those who continue to serve. Siblings of focal children also will be included so that deployment effects can be separated from child specific factors. We expect to find less positive adjustment among youth whose exposures began earlier, were more frequent or prolonged, and/or who were exposed to deployments where parents’ experiences were more traumatic. We expect that these effects will operate through parents’ psychological health, parenting efficacy, relationship quality, and family functioning, and that they will be stronger in the presence of greater vulnerability and less support. This study will expand knowledge about children’s risk and resilience in families, and has potentially important implications for schools, community organizations and health care providers. In less than a decade the children born during the longest war in our nation’s history will have moved beyond adolescence and it will no longer be possible to measure the impact of early exposure to parental combat deployment on youth adjustment.

多次调整困难与接触最近的父母部署有关 自2001年以来一直部署的军人父母的200万儿童。暴露于父母战时 部署也可能会对儿童产生长期后果，但这些尚未系统地影响 Studiod。早期暴露的后果可能是青少年时期的特别证据 人们做出决定对以后的运作非常重要的决定。拟议的研究将评估 早期暴露于父母部署和后来的青年调整的直接和间接影响。父母' 心理健康和家庭过程将被视为调解人，父母和孩子 脆弱性和支持也将被检查为可以调节父母之间关系的因素 部署和青年调整。包括人口统计，部署和病历在内的档案数据将 与从两个孩子和513个家庭中最多收集的两个父母收集的新数据结合在一起 在启动数据收集时，年龄11至16岁。儿童将至少经历一个父母的部署 持续至少30天，至少一个在6岁之前的孩子。将通过访谈，调查和 观察家庭访问期间进行的家庭互动任务。结果将成为儿童的指标 社会情感发展，行为和学习成绩。分析将检查可变性 随着时间的流逝，家庭内部和之间之间的关系，考虑到家庭内部数据的依赖性。创新的 这项研究的特征是，它将包括离开服兵役的参与者以及 继续服务。还将包括焦点儿童的兄弟姐妹，以便可以分开部署效果 来自儿童特定因素。我们希望在接触开始的年轻人中发现较少的积极调整 早些时候，更频繁或延长和/或暴露于父母经历的部署 我们希望这些影响将通过父母的心理健康，育儿来运作 效率，关系质量和家庭功能，并且在更大的情况下它们会更强大 脆弱性和较少的支持。这项研究将扩大有关儿童在家庭中的风险和韧性的了解， 并可能对学校，社区组织和医疗保健提供者具有重要意义。 不到十年的孩子在我们国家历史上最长的战争中出生的孩子将超越 青少年，不再有可能衡量早期暴露于父母战斗的影响 在青年调整方面部署。
