Description
Summary:The purpose of the study was to determine if the self-reported needs of a selected group of Black male Vietnam veterans was different than White male Vietnam veterans. The researcher used archival data for this study. The data included information on personal demographics, military data, health information, social information, education and employment, and current living information. A self-Report Questionnaire was used to collect data. Contrary to the existing literature, with specific references to cultural and ethnic awareness, this study found no statistically significant differences in the self-reported needs of Black and White male Vietnam veterans.
