“…The absence of any significant findings for alcohol consumption suggests that active duty females' risk profile for IPV may be different from males, both civilian and military, and from civilian females, where alcohol has been found to play a role in both IPV violence victimization and perpetration (Bell, Hartford, McCarroll, & Senior, 2004;Caetano et al, 2005;Hotaling & Sugarman, 1986;Pan et al, 1994;Shumacher, Feldbau-Kohn, Slep, & Heyman, 2001).…”

A sample of 248 enlisted active duty females married to civilian spouses completed a self-report survey that asked about their own and their spouse's violence. The survey also asked about their sex-role attitudes, marital satisfaction, alcohol use, childhood trauma, and depression. Results identifi ed patterns of intimate partner violence and their relationship to the psychosocial risk factors. Females experiencing severe bidirectional violence were likely to be the most depressed and to have a history of child sexual abuse. Females experiencing minor bidirectional violence did not share any of the psychosocial risk factors found for severe bidirectional violence. Females perpetrating unilateral violence toward their spouses were found to be as satisfi ed in their marriages as nonviolent couples and less depressed than the females experiencing bidirectional violence.

“…Research on intimate partner violence in military marriages has supported all these ideas. With respect to qualities of the partners, several surveys of married male service members have found higher rates of self-reported intimate partner violence among individuals who are nonwhite, younger, have a history of depression or violent behavior, and abuse alcohol (N. S. Bell et al, 2004;McCarroll et al, 2003;Rosen et al, 2003). With respect to qualities of the relationship, one of these same surveys reports that, independent of their individual characteristics, those reporting lower marital satisfaction report higher rates of intimate partner violence (Rosen et al, 2003).…”

This product is part of the RAND Corporation monograph series.RAND monographs present major research findings that address the challenges facing the public and private sectors. All RAND monographs undergo rigorous peer review to ensure high standards for research quality and objectivity. The research described in this report was prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). The research was conducted in the RAND National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the OSD, the Joint Staff, the Unified Combatant Commands, the Department of the Navy, the Marine Corps, the defense agencies, and the defense Intelligence Community under Contract DASW01-01-C-0004. Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication DataKarney, Benjamin R. PrefaceSince the onset of the military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the demands on the military have been higher than they have been at any time since the Vietnam War. In particular, deployments, especially for the Army and the Marine Corps, have been longer, more frequent, and more dangerous than they have been in the past. In the summer and fall of 2005, briefings delivered to Dr. David Chu, Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, raised concerns that these lengthy separations were leading to rising divorce rates among military families. Those concerns, in turn, raised broader questions about the effects of military service on military marriages and about the most effective ways of addressing the needs of military families. The overarching goal of the research and analyses described in this monograph is to provide an empirical and theoretical foundation for discussions of these issues. In pursuit of this goal, we ask three questions. First, what has the accumulated research and theory on military marriages contributed to an understanding of how and why military marriages succeed or fail? To address this question, we reviewed the existing theoretical and empirical literature on military marriage, identifying the strengths and limitations of this literature for understanding the effects of deployment on marriages in the current environment. Second, how have rates of transition into and out of marriag...

“…High levels of workplace stress can result in many health consequences and, in turn, higher health expenditures (Goetzel et al, 1998). These effects can also spill over to employees' personal lives, leading to problems such as increased rates of substance abuse (Sparks et al, 1997;Hodgins, Williams, and Munro, 2009;Frone, 2006), family distress (Mighty, 1997;Frone, 2000;Allen et al, 2000), and automobile accidents (Di Milia and Bowden, 2007;Barger et al, 2005), which can negatively affect the health and well-being of the family and the employee (see, for example, Allen et al, 2000;Barger et al, 2005;Sparks et al, 1997;Bell et al, 2004) and feed back into the workplace. Because of these consequences and their potential cost to employers, the Air Force should be concerned about stress and dissatisfaction in the RPA community.…”
