A survey of Army Medical Department personnel beliefs about domestic violence.

Army health care personnel play a key role in the Army's Family Advocacy Program, yet little is known about their beliefs toward domestic violence. This study surveyed the beliefs of selected Army Medical Department personnel concerning the extent, nature, causes, and management of spouse abuse. The study suggests that Army Medical Department personnel would benefit from short courses designed to increase their information about spouse abuse, prevention, identification, education, and intervention procedures.

Development of the U.S. Army Ambulatory Care Data Base.

In providing more than 22 million outpatient visits per year, the U.S. Army Medical Department is one of the largest Health Maintenance Organizations in the world. Accordingly, the need for an Ambulatory Care Data Base (ACDB) to provide management, epidemiological, and cost indicators has long been recognized by the Army. As part of a multi-year study, the ACDB was developed to meet this need. Issues and problems faced in implementing such a wide-scale effort are discussed. Preliminary results from data collected on over 3 million outpatient visits include types of health care providers and clinic specialties, with the corresponding number of visits.

Attitudes of military medical officers toward the use of drug substances.

During the fall of 1979 three social work officers surveyed the entire enrollment of the advanced Army Medical Department (AMEDD) officer career course. The enrollees represented a wide range of medical specialties and years of military experience. Two questions were posed: Do medical officers enter service with conservative attitudes toward drug and alcohol substance use, or is their conservatism a product of having worked in the military system for years? And to what extent is the Stoessel Drug Attitude Inventory a reliable and valid instrument for application within this military population? This study reports the responses of 64 Army Medical Department officers to 25 items. No meaningful differences were found with respect to scale scores for the basic groups and those for the advanced group, and only a single item revealed differences between groups at the .05 level of confidence.
