To assess the prevalence of psychological symptoms during periods of relatively low deployment activity and the factors associated with each psychological health outcome.
A survey of 4500 randomly selected UK service personnel was carried out in 2002. The questionnaire included the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the post-traumatic stress disorder checklist (PCL), 15 symptoms and an assessment of alcohol intake.
A total of 20% were above cut-offs for GHQ-12, 15% for symptoms, 12% for alcohol intake and 2% for PCL. Gender, age, excessive drinking and smoking were independently associated with most outcomes of interest. Number of deployments was independently associated with multiple symptoms and excessive drinking. High post-traumatic stress disorder score was more frequent in the Army and in lower ranks.
Psychological symptoms are highly prevalent in UK Armed Forces. Many risk factors are associated with measures of psychological ill-health.
评估部署活动相对较少期间心理症状的患病率以及与每种心理健康结果相关的因素。
2002年对4500名随机抽取的英国军人进行了一项调查。问卷包括一般健康问卷（GHQ - 12）、创伤后应激障碍检查表（PCL）、15种症状以及酒精摄入量评估。
共有20%的人高于GHQ - 12的临界值，15%的人有症状，12%的人酒精摄入量超标，2%的人PCL呈阳性。性别、年龄、过度饮酒和吸烟与大多数感兴趣的结果独立相关。部署次数与多种症状和过度饮酒独立相关。创伤后应激障碍高分在陆军和低级别军人中更为常见。
心理症状在英国武装部队中非常普遍。许多风险因素与心理不健康的指标相关。
