A research study is being conducted by Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) and the National Institute of Health. Its purpose is to help provide support for depressed spouses of service members who are (or have been) deployed overseas. We will be creating a website designed to provide information about depression tailored to the needs of military spouses and partners.
We are currently looking for participants for a discussion group. We want to learn more about your experiences as a military spouse. This feedback will help us determine what kinds of information we should put into the website. There will be no cost to you or the clinic that provides your treatment and all the information you give us will be kept strictly confidential. OHSU IRB# 4594.
