Yale-affiliated researchers recently published a study on transgenerational factors of traumas by comparison of children of veterans and nonveterans. They concluded:

After adjustment for socioeconomic advantages that may increase health service use, children of veteran families demonstrate substantially higher rates of clinically recognized externalizing problems. While explanations for this require further study, service systems working with veterans may consider integrating child-focused screening/services.

The article ‘’Transgenerational Factors Associated With Military Service: Comparison of Children of Veterans and Nonveterans” is in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.
