During the Operation Desert Shield/Storm (ODS) deployment, there was a perception among volunteers and professionals providing services and support to families that while most spouses were able to handle the stress, some younger spouses coped poorly. A cluster analysis using data from a mailed survey conducted during ODS confirmed that there were groups of younger spouses experiencing high levels of emotional distress. In addition, the study found that there was a group of older spouses with similar problems. Sociodemographic characteristics such as ethnic group and employment status, expectations of the Army, and unsatisfactory use of services discriminated among clusters. Groups with high levels of distress also had the highest levels of unsatisfactory use of services and the highest expectations of the Army.
在“沙漠盾牌/风暴”行动（ODS）部署期间，为军属提供服务和支持的志愿者及专业人员中有这样一种看法：虽然大多数军属能够应对压力，但一些年轻军属应对得很差。利用ODS期间进行的邮寄调查数据进行的聚类分析证实，有几组年轻军属经历着高度的情绪困扰。此外，研究发现，有一组年龄较大的军属也存在类似问题。种族群体和就业状况等社会人口特征、对军队的期望以及服务使用不满意等因素在不同类别中存在差异。困扰程度高的群体服务使用不满意程度最高，对军队的期望也最高。
