Single mothers had a particularly difficult time separating Divorce rates of deployed women 3x higher than for male service members Behavior problems appear in children of deployed service members (Boyd, et al., 2013;, Crum-Cianflone, et al., 2014) Boyd, Bradshaw 2
3 Regular Army suicide rate increased between for current & previously deployed 40% who were non deployed Youngest soldiers have elevated suicide risk during & after deployment. Married deployed soldiers have lower suicide risk than unmarried solders without dependents. Suicide risk inversely associated with educational attainment. Among enlisted soldiers, suicide is inversely related to rank. (Schoenbaum, et al., 2014) Considered suicide during their life: 13.9% Made a suicide plan 5.3% Attempted suicide 2.4% Suicide ideation, plan, or attempts occurred in 47 60% prior to joining the Army. One third of post enlistment suicide attempt associated with pre enlistment mental disorders Prediction of post enlistment first suicide attempts Post enlistment depression Pre & post enlistment Intermittent explosive disorders Nock et al., 2014 Gender Women have significantly elevated odds of suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts Women: Increased 5.1 to 15.2 per 100,000 between 2003 & 2008 (unexpected) Suicide ideation prior to age at enlistment (57.6%); plans (45.9%); first attempt (36.%) Marital status Never married & previously married soldiers have lower odds than married soldiers Rank Lower rank have higher risk (Nock, et al., 2014) Boyd, Bradshaw 3
4 Military Sexual Trauma Sexual assault (21 25%); sexual harassment (24 60%) of women during military service One in 4 women seeking care at the VA experience sexual trauma while on active duty Combat Exposure Combat exposure and being responsible for the death of an enemy combatant (most severe trauma) increased dramatically from violent episodes of combat exposure strongest predictor of PTSD. (Maguen et al., 2012) PTSD: Most common mental health diagnosis of OIF/OIF veterans Men: combat and combat related experiences Women: combat related experiences & sexual trauma Depression More likely to appear in women Adult sexual trauma & combat exposures Co morbid with PTSD & MST Sleep Disturbances More common in women service members than in men (13.2% vs 8.9%) Sexual assault primary causal factor of PTSD in women Women & men who experience assault prior to deployment are more likely to develop postdeployment PTSD symptoms after combat exposure than those who had no prior assault (22% vs 10% in women and 12% vs 6% in men) Institute of Medicine, 2014 Boyd, Bradshaw 4
5 Service Member PTSD GENDER Males 5,468 (1.1%) 100,531 (8.9%) Females 2,356 (3.8%) 22,806 (13.2%) RACE White 5,021 (1.4%) 71,170 (8.5%) Non white 2,738 (1.4%) 51,660 (11%) Institute of Medicine, 2014 Career concerns Losing security clearance Loss of coworker confidence Side effects from medications Family and friends would be more helpful than mental health professional Support outreach programs to military members and their families. Recognize impact of deployment. Assessment of veterans for PTSD symptoms. Research is needed regarding the long term effects of deployment. Boyd, Bradshaw 5
6 Women represent 14% of the military Unique stresses of women include sexual harassment, trauma, and biological needs Deployment significantly impacts postdeployment quality of life PTSD, suicide, depression are common mental health issues for women service members. Assessment of military experiences can identify the mental health issues and their relationship to their military experience. Boyd, M.A., Bradshaw, W., & Robinson, M. (2013).
