Abstrakt: Examined by questionnaire for handedness and social-psychiatric background were 179 conscripts hospitalized in the Department of Militarypsychiatry University Hospital of Copenhagen. Those belonging to the control group consisted of 191 drafted for national service. No difference in handedness was observed between the two groups. On the other hand, a significant difference was found between the groups as regards years of childhood separated from parents, duration of schooling, education in special classes, number of people with education after school and unemployment. There were more participants in the conscript group than those belonging to the control group who had an overconsumption of alcohol, abuse of hashish, consumption of psychotherapeutic drugs or had consulted a psychiatrist or psychologist. 25% of the participants and 10% of the control group had volunteered for duty because of unemployment. This investigation indicates that problems during national service break out particularly in individuals who had formerly been exposed to strong psycho-social strain.
