Data about 4,586 enlisted crew members aboard six combat ships confirmed an hypothesis that prediction of illness would increase significantly by considering organization or ship. Organizational variance was significant in predicting individual and group illness rates, and the single most effective predictor of individual illness rates was an individual's assigned ship. While further research is needed to determine particular organizational characteristics responsible for this variance in illness rate, it is clear that more accurate predictions of individual illnesses can be made by considering the organizational contexts in which they occur
