Data on the anxiety and depression in the wives and children of older veterans is currently being analysed. Vietnam veteran's psychological health study Dr David Grayson, Dr Matthew Dobson, in collaboration with the University of Queensland and the Department of Veterans' Affairs Research into Vietnam veteran health continues. Men with psychiatric disorders report higher levels of combat, and score higher on combat exposure measures derived from army records. The impact of social isolation on health and service use is currently being examined. Extrapyramidal gait disorder, behavioural change and cognitive impairments have the strongest association with disability in this population.
Systemic diagnoses have lesser impact.
Disability and disturbed behaviour noted by the carer were most strongly correlated with carer distress. Sociodemographic variables related to the care recipient and the carer were less influential. Analysis of service use data is continuing. Dr David Grayson Statistical research continues to provide special designs for the analysis of results of CERA studies. Several papers on the misunderstandings in the social sciences about probabilistic evidence have been produced.
