Abstract:

This is a section of the book The Challenge of Epidemiology: Issues and Selected Readings. Edited by four eminent epidemiologists, this book consolidates, for the first time, a core of landmark articles on the evolution, scope and limitations, uses, and prospects of epidemiology. An outstanding feature of the book is the inclusion of the editors' assessments of the realm of epidemiology, where it is and where it should be going. It represents a useful tool for both students and practicing professionals and provides a much-needed frame of reference for reorienting the practice of epidemiology. The book is a collection of 91 articles, grouped in five parts. This article presents a study on the effects of psychological, social and environmental stress on the health and morale of men in the air force, specifically in the course of bomber operational maneuvers. The research involves studies of relationships between neurosis and venereal disease and operational hazard and effort, as well as the relationship between anxiousness and fatigue and stress.
