The Mental Status of Women in the Navy and Marine Corps: Preliminary Findings from the 1995 Perceptions of Wellness and Readiness Assessment
Abstract
Patterned after the large national health surveys, the 1995 Perceptions of Wellness and Readiness Assessment was designed to provide baseline health and risk factor in- formation on the health and mental health status of women in the US Navy and Marine Corps. A population-based, two-stage, cluster sample of nearly 10,000 active-duty Navy and Marine Corps women and men were screened for above-normal levels of psychosocial distress and depressive symptomatology using standard cut-points on two psychiatric screening instruments. A clinically based, structured computerized telephone interview was administered to sub samples of both positive-and negative-screening volunteers to make Diagnostic Statistical Manual-III-R psychiatric diagnoses.
