#'
#' Two-phase stratified random sampling design for the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in Gulf War veterans. In the first phase a random sample of veterans from a population of 53,462 were administered the SF-36 questionnaire. Respondents were classified as either disabled or not disabled. The second phase used a stratified random sampling design from the first sample. The sampled veterans were then assessed by psychiatrists to determine if they had an alcohol, sleep, or other psychiatric disorder.
