Being deployed to a war zone can result in numerous adverse
psychological health conditions. It is well documented in the
literature that there are high rates of psychological disorders
among military personnel serving in Operation Enduring Freedom in
Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq as well as among
the service members' families. For service members' families, the
degree of hardship and negative consequences rises with the amount
of the service members' exposure to traumatic or life-altering
experiences. Adult and child members of the families of service
members who experience wartime deployments have been found to be at
increased risk for symptoms of psychological disorders and to be
more likely to use mental health services. In an effort to provide
early recognition and early intervention that meet the
psychological health needs of service members and their families,
DOD currently screens for many of these conditions at numerous
points during the military life cycle, and it is implementing
structural interventions that support the improved integration of
military line personnel, non-medical caregivers, and clinicians,
such as RESPECT-Mil (Re-engineering Systems of Primary Care
Treatment in the Military), embedded mental health providers, and
the Patient-Centered Medical Home. Preventing Psychological
Disorders in Service Members and Their Families evaluates risk and
protective factors in military and family populations and suggests
that prevention strategies are needed at multiple levels -
individual, interpersonal, institutional, community, and societal -
in order to address the influence that these factors have on
psychological health. This report reviews and critiques
reintegration programs and prevention strategies for PTSD,
depression, recovery support, and prevention of substance abuse,
suicide, and interpersonal violence. Table of Contents Front Matter
