Background:
The Army Order 3&11/2001 was introduced to curb alcoholism and to weed out habitual alcoholics. Hence a study was carried out in a zonal referral hospital from 01 Jan 2001 to 30 Jun 2003 to assess its effectiveness.
Methods:
The subjects consisted of officers, junior commisioned officers and other ranks who satisfied the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 10 criteria for alcohol dependence.
Result:
Out of 1023 consecutive admissions, alcohol dependent cases numbered 245 (23.95%). They were disposed as under: 57/ 245 (23.6%) in S1 (fit for all duties), 67/245 (27.35%) in S2 (fit for duties with few restrictions), 72/245 (29.39%) in S3 (fit for duties with more restrictions), and 32/245 (13.06%) in S5 (unfit for further service.).
Conclusion:
The data showed that the percentage of cases disposed under fit for all duties had risen four times (23.80 vs 5.86), those invalided out increased by two times (12.70 vs 6.64) and those retained in S2 had reduced (26.46 vs 41.21) after the new policy.
