Zusammenfassung:The hypothesis that there is "an inverse ratio between the number of military recruits screened out during preliminary training and the number of psychiatric casualties during subsequent military service" is subjected to verification. This is a repetition of previous studies with additional samples for screening rate and subsequent discharge rate at specified historical periods at 3 training centers. The results confirm the hypothesis, but cautiousness in interpretation is stressed.
