Diseases and Non-Battle Injuries for U.S. Navy Submarine Personnel and Surface-Ship Personnel by Occupational Group

Abstract

Previous Naval Health Research Center studies have found that submarine personnel have lower hospitalization rates than surface-ship personnel. However, because Navy hospitalization admission rates are known to vary by occupation, occupation-specific hospitalization rates for submariners were examined to determine the effects of submarine work environments and health. The objective of this study was to determine the hospitalization rates of submariners within five occupational groups and compare the results with data for surface-ship personnel. Keywords: Occupational diseases; Navy personnel.
