While both soldier classes received the reintegration training, one class received the training prior to redeployment and the other class received it between 3 and 6 months after redeployment. Because of the small sample size in the spouse reintegration group, comparisons were not made based on training class. Response options ranged from 1 = not at all to 4 = very much.
