A Preliminary Description of the Health of Women Navy Divers: An Examination of Linked Medical, Personnel, and Dive Log Data for 47 Women Divers Who Separated Between 2008 and 2018
Abstract
Although women have always served in the U.S. Armed Forces, it has only been in the last half century that systematic examinations have been done on the health issues experienced by military women. Still, little is known about how occupational health risks among Navy divers might vary between men and women. Our objective was to use available data to examine health issues among all separating divers and then determine how prevalence rates varied between men and women for diagnoses made within the diver’s last year of active duty service.
