To Understand How Families Experience Deployments, the Deployment Life Study Focuses on Four Areas: Preexisting Conditions, Deployment Experiences, Intermediate Outcomes, and Long-Term Outcomes- Preexisting conditions include enduring traits, relationship resources, nonmilitary circumstances, and prior military experiences.
- Deployment experiences consist of deployment characteristics and adaptive processes.
- Intermediate outcomes measured are emergent traits and relationship quality.
- Long-term outcomes measured are marital dissolution, military retention, child academic achievement, financial well-being, physical health, and mental, emotional, and behavioral health.
Nine Times in Three Years, the Deployment Life Study Assesses the Service Member, His or Her Spouse, and, If Possible, One Child in the Household- Initial, baseline assessment began in March 2011 and ended in August 2012.
- Follow-up assessments continue at four-month intervals for each participant.
- Interviewers use phone and web survey methods.
