Abstract
Use of family readiness programs (FRPs) by military families is not well understood. This work uses the Gelberg-Andersen Behavioral Model to identify characteristics of Reserve and National Guard (R/NG) couples who access FRPs. Data are from Operation: SAFETY, a study of R/NG soldiers and partners. Logistic regression models examined odds of accessing FRPs based on predisposing, enabling, and need factors. Greater length of military service, greater presence of non-military social ties, and civilian partner reports of adequate support during deployment were associated with higher likelihood of accessing FRPs. Results provide information on FRP utilization and may help inform outreach efforts.Entities:
