“…The first area focuses on enduring, less controllable influences on the individual (Dohrenwend & Dohrenwend, 1969Zubin & Spring, 1977). For example, Zubin and Spring (1977) view vulnerability as a trait that is the result of genetic inheritance (Kallmann, 1959;Rosenthal, 1970) as well as propensities acquired through experience. According to this view, the degree of distress induced by "challenging events" is determined by whether or not the vulnerability threshold is crossed and maladaptation ensues (Mechanic, 1967).…”

Several researchers have called for an interdisciplinary approach to the study of disaster. In this article, the authors discuss conceptual issues related to stress, distress, and disaster; survey pertinent contributions by reseachers; and provide a rationale for the use of a comprehensive, psychoepidemiologic model of distress as a possible means of systematizing research in the area. A review of the model's components, which include exposure to stressors, vulnerability, and psychological and social resources, is presented. Various ways to implement the model practically and methodologically in disaster research also are discussed.

“…Another category of disorders with a significantly higher hospitalization rate for blacks than Caucasians is that of psychoses; as would he * expected, black officers have a higher rate of medical separations for these same reasons. In explaining blacks' higher risk for psychoses, other researchers have identified both genetics and occupational stress as ,* factors associated with the incidence of mental ill health (Rosenthal, 1970;Cooper and Marshall, 1976).…”

The Navy is a dynamic organization that has changed over the decade from an almost exclusively male Caucasian population to an cmrised of increasing numbers of minorities. Each minority group brings to the Navy a unique set of health problems and health care needs that should be recognized and met by the Navy's medical department. Objective The objectives of this study were (1) to identify the health risks unique to various minority groups in the Navy Officer Corps and (2) to determine whether or not being a member of a minority group had an impact on the individual's health, as reflected by an elevated hospitalization rate, especially for stress-related disorders. Physical Evaluation Board incidence and disability rates as well as attrition rates and death data also were examined across subpcpulations. Using the officer career history file and the medical inpatient file, five subpopulations of Navy officers who served for any time period from July 196l7 through December 1979 were identified: male Caucasians (n-133,818), male blacks (n-1,486), unrestricted line officers (n = 46,189 men; n = 3,149 women), Nurse C s(n-1,156 men; n = 7,410 women), and other officers of the Staff Corps (n = 45,409 men; n = 1,132 women). The numbers of hospital admissions for each specific diagnosis were tallied for the five subpopulations, and hospitalization rates per 10,000 strength were computed for total hospitalizations, major diagnostic categories, and several selected diagnoses. Similarly, rates per 10,000 were derived for Physical Evaluation Board actions; percentages of losses for various reasons also were computed. The X 2 technique was used to ascertain the statistical significance of differences between officer groups for hospitalizations and Physical Evaluation Board actions. Results Results of this study identified several specific healtH problems unique to each of the selected minority grous in the Navy Officer Corps. One of the most significant health problems differentiating black officers from Caucasians was the subcategory of hereditary hemolytic anemias which clearly implicated genetic predisposition as the contributing factor. Blacks also had significantly higher hospitalization rates than Caucasians for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and psychoses; the incidence of these disorders has been shown to be associated with genetic predisposition and job-related stress. Hospitalization rates for redundant prepuce and phimoasis and strains, sprains, and dislocations also were significantly higher for black officers than their Caucasian counterparts. Results of the occupational comarisons of hospitalization rates by sex identified male nurses as having the highest overall rate of all groups. Woman in each of the three occupational groups had significantly higher hospitalization rates than men for genitourinary diseases, supplementary classifications, and neoplams; also noted was the sizable proportion of women's total rate for pregnancy-related conditions. The large observed differences in rates, therefore, were attrib...
