Psychological Screening for Weapons Use Suitability: A Formal Decision Model,

Abstract

A pilot study was conducted for US Coast Guard 3rd District to determine the feasibility of objective psychological assessment in evaluating suitability for armed duties assignments. A linear decision model incorporating normal and clinical assessment components was constructed to facilitate the evaluation process. The results of the study are encouraging and point to possible applications beyond the issue of weapons screening. (Author)
