Abstract

Report summarizes findings of a study supported by the U.S. Army's Military Kids that focused on the adaptation of adolescents in military famiies when a parent is deployed, as well as when the family experiences multiple deployments. Adolescents were identified via their attendance in one of their camps and through state 4-H military liaisons. The findings are an expansion of the previous work by the above authors published in 2005. The report is divided into 6 sections. Findings are largely anecdotal and implications are provided for future research, including support for parents and youth.
