Description/Abstract
This IVMF research review underscores the growing importance of veteran parents, especially mothers, within the changing military demographics. Despite projections indicating a significant increase in female veterans by 2035, research on the impact of veteran status, gender, and parenthood remains scarce. This study investigates the demographics and well-being outcomes of post-9/11 veteran single parents, offering insights into their financial stability, health, and access to care, with implications for policy, practice, and future research.
