Question text I am going to read out a number of attitudes and behaviours which might be more likely to be found in some sections of the population than others. Using this card, please tell me whether you think each is more likely to occur among ex-Service personnel, more likely to occur among civilians, or equally likely to occur in both populations. By civilians, we mean the adult population of the UK in general. When answering this question, please think about ex-Service personnel who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Take illegal drugs?
