LIFE-Q: Researching lifestyle behaviours of spouses and partners of military personnel and veterans.

Military life can be demanding, and the pressures it can put on family life are well-known.

Funded by the Forces in Mind Trust, researchers at the King’s Centre for Military Health Research have been asking spouses and partners of military personnel and veterans about their lifestyles – alcohol use, eating, exercise, smoking/vaping, and socialising – to understand what they think is affecting their behaviours and how they feel about this.

The aim is to help us all better understand how we can better enable military families to manage health risks and access relevant support when and where they need it.

On 30 July we’ll be hearing from Dr Laura Palmer from the research team about what they found out and what it might mean.
