Abstract
This study examined the perceptions of veterans of the armed forces living in a rapid rehousing program called Nation’s Finest in Sacramento, California. The perceptions examined were about alcohol consumption and prevention methods in the military and post military service through the Veterans Health Administration. The study utilized a quantitative survey to develop a questionnaire to measure perceptions and attitudes of participants. Data analysis from chi-square tests unveils no conclusive associations between different demographics and perceptions of veteran healthcare and military alcohol permission structures, but strong connections between those who hold a negative view of one aspect of veteran healthcare and military alcohol permission structure also holding negative perceptions of other aspects with the same being shown true in reverse. The implications of these findings as well as implications for broader social work are discussed.
