Recruiting Participants for a Study on
Military Couples’ Experiences




The Trauma and Global Mental Health research team at The New School for Social Research would like to learn more about how military couples share stories from the time of military service. We hope to guide future treatments that will support the health and well-being of military families.

This study is being conducted by Adam Brown, PhD, who has been working to improve mental health for veterans and their families for over 15 years.

Each participating couple will receive a $60 Amazon e-gift card.

INTERESTED?
We are looking for couples over 21 years old who meet the following criteria:
 

      
︎ One of you has served in the military with either direct or indirect exposure to combat within the past 10 years

︎ You have been in a relationship for at least 1 year

︎ The military service occurred during the relationship


Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. While you will not directly benefit from this research, it is our hope that our findings will help inform future mental health treatments for military families.
