This study compares Navy outpatient alcoholics, inpatient alcoholics, and a general outpatient psychiatric population on a number of demographic and clinical variables. Compared to inpatients, the outpatient alcoholics were younger, more often married, and were more frequently given favorable discharges. Compared to nonalcoholic outpatients, the outpatients were older, had lower socioeconomic origins, and were more often given favorable discharges. The characteristics of outpatient alcoholics are discussed, and an attempt is made to lay the groundwork for early case finding and prevention of alcoholism in the service.
本研究在一些人口统计学和临床变量方面，对海军门诊酗酒者、住院酗酒者以及普通门诊精神病人群进行了比较。与住院酗酒者相比，门诊酗酒者更年轻，已婚比例更高，且更常被给予有利的出院评定。与非酗酒门诊病人相比，酗酒门诊病人年龄更大，社会经济出身较低，且更常被给予有利的出院评定。文中讨论了门诊酗酒者的特征，并试图为在军队中早期发现酗酒病例及预防酗酒奠定基础。
