Abstract

During World War II there were approximately 17,500,000 admissions (to hospital and quarters) for all causes (battle and nonbattle) in the Army and 5,300,000 in the Navy and Marine Corps, of which admissions for psychoneurosis number about 630,000 in the Army total and 73,000 in the Navy total. Psychoneuroses were responsible for about 3.1 percent of all admissions in World War II, 3.6 percent in the Army, and 1.4 percent in the Navy and Marine Corps. They made a larger relative contribution to the noneffective rate in the Armed Forces; in the Army the total days lost by men with this diagnosis represents about 8.8 percent of the noneffective rate, in the Navy about 4.7 percent. The data presented here on men with psychoneurosis are based on tabulations of the various rosters already defined and supplemented by incidental tables prepared by the Army on 1944 admissions as a whole or as sampled at that time. The data on the military population as a whole, i. e., without regard to admission for psychoneurosis, are for the most part Army data obtained from the following sources: 1. Population data already published or furnished by the Department of Defense for comparative purposes here. 2. Samples of men utilized in other NRC follow-up studies; these are specifically characterized in the context where they are used. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
