How Should Addiction-Related Research at the National Institutes of Health be Reorganized
The decades-old debate about the optimum organizational structure of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has reached a crescendo with the recent deliberations of the Scientific Management Review Board, which, despite the lack of a crisis, proposed a structural reorganization that would dissolve the two institutes and create a new institute for substance use, abuse, and addicti…

Eighty percent of the men received good to excellent reports…
Correlation between Two Measures of Self-Esteem and Drug Use in a College Sample
The relationship between drug and alcohol use and self-esteem was investigated using students living in a co-ed dormitory. A questionnaire was distributed containing four sections including demographic information, the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory (1967), an A Priori Identity Crisis scale, and a frequency of drug/alcohol use scale. 66% of the questionnaires were returned, yielding a sample of 171 males and 219 females. Heavy use of alcohol w…
The Association between Alcoholism and Job Type in the U.S. Navy
Analysis of job types among U.S. Navy enlisted men hospitalized for alcoholism revealed a group of nine jobs with a high prevalence of alcoholism and nine jobs with a low prevalence. The former were mostly nontechnical jobs; the latter were skilled jobs requiring more education and higher aptitude
Deaths among Young Alcoholics in the U.S. Naval Service
The annual death rate of Navy and Marine Corps alcoholics was 15 per 1000 hospitalized alcoholics. The mean ages of the deceased were 37 and 33 years. The major causes of death were self-inflicted wounds, accidents and liver cirrhosis and pancreatitis

Alcohol abuse may become a primary illness, alcoholism, or a complication of other psychiatric processes, such as sociopathy. It is necessary to distinguish between the alcoholic who engages in a limited sphere of antisocial acts and the sociopath who abuses alcohol as part of his antisocial behavior, because the process and prognosis of these different varieties of alcoholism may be distinct
