Relationship between Sick Call and USMA Performance,

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships between frequency of sick call and length of hospitalization and the criteria of Aptitude for the Service Ratings (ASR) and General Order of Merit (GOM). A one-quarter sample of cadets was randomly selected from each of the Classes of 1972-73-74-75 and followed throughout the academic year of 1971-72. The relationships between the criteria and frequency of sick call were statistically significant but of little practical importance, except to indicate that other variables have much more influence on ASR and GOM than does sick call frequency. Plebes that were hospitalized did poorer on ASR than those not hospitalized. (Author)
