Availability of Family Violence Services for Military Service Members and Their Families

The Department of Defense works to prevent and address child abuse or neglect (CAN) and domestic abuse (DA) through the Family Advocacy Program and other services. RAND conducted a study to review resources available to military-affiliated victims and perpetrators of CAN and DA, barriers to utilization, challenges faced by military providers working to prevent and respond to CAN and DA; and to provide recommendations to improve services.
