FOCUS-CI: A Preventive Intervention with Children and Families of the Combat Injured

This study evaluates a newly refined intervention for  severely combat injured service members and their families using two existing approaches: “Families overcoming and coping under Stress” (FOCUS) is a  resiliency-building intervention  for military families experiencing the challenges of multiple  deployments and parental,  combat-related psychological  and physical problems; “early combined collaborative care” (ECCC) addresses the long-term, changing needs of traumatically injured patients transitioning from hospital to home. The new intervention will be administered at WRAMC, SAMMC, and Madigan Army Medical Center (MAMC).  Participating families will be followed for two years to learn about the long-term recovery trajectory.
