Abstract
The relationship between 100 Vietnam veterans'' self-reported and objectively determined exposure to the herbicide Agent Orange and the relationship between self- or objective ratings and self-reported psychological and medical problems were examined. Veterans who believed they had been exposed reported more psychological and medical problems than the other veterans but did not differ on success at living indices; the medical problems many reported suggested psychosomatic etiologies. Grouped according to objective ratings of herbicide exposure, the veterans did not show such differences in psychological or medical problems. No differences on neuropsychological testing appeared, no matter how the subjects were grouped.
