abstract="OBJECTIVE: This study examines how military parents' gender moderates the association between deployments and well-being and depression among military-connected youth. <br><br>METHODS: Secondary analyses were run on 2011 California Healthy Kids Survey data from 1,370 military-connected adolescents. <br><br>RESULTS: For depression, we found a significant interaction between deployments and parents' gender (β =.10, p = 0.0208). The relationship between deployment and depression is stronger for children of female service members. We also found a significant association between two or more deployments and well-being (β = 0.24, p = 0.0049). <br><br>DISCUSSION: Children of female service members may be at greater risk of psychosocial morbidity. Further, youth well-being may increase during/following deployments, perhaps suggesting resilience.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
