Absence of a Link Between Childhood Parental Military Service on Depression and Anxiety Disorders Among College Students.

Conclusion: These findings continue to draw attention to potential health disparities associated with growing up in a military household. However, these results also suggest that children of military families exhibit significant resilience and that parental military service may not be a reliable predictor of mental health issues among college students after accounting for the influence of demographic factors. These findings may have implications for health care providers who treat dependents of military service members. PMID: 29547979 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
