Asthma in the Army: 1985-1996.
Based on comparison between data obtained on medical discharges from the Army due to asthma for 1985 and for 1994-1995, this study shows that the current Army policy on asthma and recruiting is effective but could be improved. Plans aimed at improving the current screening programme are introduced.
