Prognostic indicators for black and white alcoholics in the U.S. Navy.
Among 132 Black and 1384 White Navy enlisted men, about the same proportion of each group (76 and 77%) returned to effective duty after treatment for alcoholism. The best predictors of the sailors' effective recovery after treatment were favorable prognoses by treatment personnel, and their being promoted above the lowest grades of pay.
