They\u2019ll also look at how parenting behaviors, the quality of the parent-adolescent relationship and parents\u2019 marital quality influence adolescents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAfter almost 20 years of sustained warfare and the COVID-19 pandemic, we need robust research approaches that can address complex emerging issues among military-connected adolescents and their families,\u201d said McMaster, who describes it as a \u201clandmark study.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/management\/pay-benefits\/2021\/10\/07\/two-thirds-of-military-teens-want-to-follow-in-their-parents-footsteps-but-these-kids-are-not-okay-survey-finds\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"156\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Crossreads-ES.Quantico.teacher.png.png?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Two-thirds of military teens want to follow in their parents\u2019 footsteps.

Now we\u2019re adding adolescents to that mix,\u201d Raezer said. \u201cWe\u2019ll get a deeper understanding of what\u2019s going on with the families and how they\u2019re coping with military life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/2021\/01\/11\/spouses-help-researchers-delve-into-long-term-effects-of-military-life\/\" target=\"_blank\">Military spouses <\/a>have been included in the Millennium Cohort Study for more than a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raezer also hopes the research will provide information about whether these adolescents plan to join the military, and whether their experience as a military child is going to have an impact on being a service member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause of the strain of military life, will the children be willing to serve, and will they be able to serve?\u201d Raezer asked. \u201cWill they be able to go to college using their parent\u2019s GI bill benefit?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis opens up a whole lot of potential to gather information we didn\u2019t have, for DoD and private organizations to figure out better ways to help these families,\u201d Raezer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2021\/11\/05\/tinnitus-depression-most-common-ailments-in-generational-study-of-troops-health\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Fire-Power.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Tinnitus, depression most common ailments in generational study of troops\u2019 health<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Millennium Cohort Study is 20 years old.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Department of Defense officials conducted surveys of military youth decades ago, those have been discontinued, and there are no known longitudinal studies of military teens over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSome research has shown that military adolescents are generally more resilient than their civilian peers, whereas other research has found that military-connected youth exhibit higher rates of depression, substance use, suicidality, and lower academic performance compared to their civilian peers,\u201d McMaster said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese differences in findings may be rooted in research methods that rely on parent reports of adolescent behaviors, which is not an accurate gauge of youths\u2019 own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, particularly among older youth who are able to spend more time outside of the home. Numerous studies also rely on samples of convenience that are small and not representative of the full military community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This study will address those discrepancies by using a large sample of families with adolescents representing all branches and components of the services, as well as veteran families, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Millennium Cohort Study was launched in 2001 just before 9\/11, and has enrolled over 260,000 service members from all six branches of the military. The researchers enrolled five different panels over the years. The next enrollment panel will be recruited starting in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The participating service members complete follow-up surveys every three to five years, even after leaving military service, continuing through 2068.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broad survey topics are related to mental and physical health, health behaviors, military exposures and other experiences such as combat and deployment. To date, more than 120 research publications have been produced to date based on the findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe hope that we have built a strong foundation of trust with Millennium Cohort Study participants and that they will allow us to engage their children in this landmark study,\u201d McMaster said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DoD researchers will contact about 50,000 military and veteran parents of adolescents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":46942,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":15,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,155,23,92,83,12,25,15,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3302],"class_list":["post-21379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-health-care-benefits","category-home","category-left-column","category-military-benefits","category-news","category-newsletters","category-pay-benefits","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"WJM5I6SUSJBHHEPRTXHZ6D4BK4","arc_canonical_url":"\/pay-benefits\/2022\/03\/08\/how-are-military-teens-coping-landmark-study-will-follow-them-over-time-to-find-out\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How are military teens coping?
