Illness Behavior and Transitional States: A Study of Outpatient Rates and Symptom Presentation in Relation to Troop Deployment during Peacetime. The Health Consequences of Deployment. Types and Rates of Outpatient Sickcall Visits. June 1980 - May 1981. Combat Arms and Support Troops

Abstract

The outpatient sickcall visits during June 1980-May 1981 for soldiers and their family members in 17 highly stressed combat arms (airborne) and 5 less stressed support companies were collected and linked to the sponsor's personnel data as part of the 'Health Consequences of Deployment' study. The findings describe the demographic characteristics and attributes of the soldiers-at-risk, ratio as a function of stress for the principal reason for visit categories, the most common presenting problems and the presenting problem ratio ratios. Appendices specify the codes included in the major categories. (Author)
