Factors Related to Drug Abuse in the Submarine Service. 3. Characteristic Biographical Profiles and Related Data

Abstract

Involving two drug abuse (DA) Samples(N=200 and 41), this study was designed to reexamine certain of the findings reported in earlier reports of this series and to investigate the relationships of selected sociological, personality and background factors to propensity for DA in the submarine service. Though the mechanisms are unknown, there appears to be a non-chance correlation between Submarine School output and incidence of DA during equal time segments. A gross estimate of the incidence of DA in the submarine service for FY71 was comparatively low, of the order of 25 per 1000 enlisted men across all submarine classes, but possibly slightly higher for men in attack class as compared to those in either fleet type or Fleet Ballistic Missile billets.
