2.0 The Aims

The Vietnam veterans morbidity study covers both male and female veterans. The aims are to:

  1. Survey the health and well-being of Vietnam veterans, their spouses and their children.
  2. Compare the health and well-being of Vietnam veterans, their spouses and their children, with Australians of comparable age in the general population where comparative data exist.
  3. Obtain health-related baseline data about Vietnam veterans which could be used for short, medium and longer term policy development.
