Corporate Author:

Abstract:
Parental deployment can disrupt the care children receive both as a result of deployment-related separation and the potentially destabilizing impact of deployment on the remaining caregiver and daily routines. The project entails the assessment of parents N200 whose spousepartner is currently in a low perceived risk deployment and has a child between the age of 3 and 7 and comparison groups of civilian single parent families N200 and civilian dual parent families N200. The objectives of this study are to 1 identify and measure developmentally salient skills that are indicators of current adaptation among preschool and early childhood boys and girls of civilian intact and single-parent families. This will allow for the identification of military-specific challenges, if any, of child adjustment and developmental milestones, and 2 examine the role of spousal-perceived Service Member risk on caregiver behaviors associated with parental deployment in the prediction of child adaptation. Specifically, we aim to determine the role of Spouses ratings of partner risk during deployment predicting child adjustment by surveying families deployed in support brigades. The PI has changed institution and the award was transferred to her new institution. Recruitment is ongoing with 57 percent of overall recruitment goal completed.
