Fifty trainees were selected from a Job Corps Camp for medical and psychological evaluation. A significant number had health problems, many of which might have been modified by regular medical care.

Although mean school grade completed was the ninth, performance on reading and arithmetic tests was estimated at midfourth grade. This was below expectation based on results of intelligence testing and would imply that a more thorough appraisal should be made of the health status and cognitive functioning of these young men if maximal help is to be provided them through the Job Corps program.
