relocations and separations, along with the loss of friendships and starting over in a new town, are among the most noted stressors for the average military child. Yet, despite these stressors, studies have shown military adolescents are significantly less likely to engage in risk-taking behaviors such as alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use (Hutchinson, 2006). They are additionally more likely to exhibit improved behavior and resiliency (Weber & Weber, 2005). For example, alcohol use among high school aged military youths is 20.8%, while the national average is 44.9% (Hutchinson, 2006).

This study additionally found that mental and behavioral health visits were increased by 11% among children with a deployed parent (Gorman, Eide, & Hisle-Gorman, 2010). While some may argue these…
