“…The thirty one studies of the true prevalence of mental illness, based on community samples (rather than 'treated' prevalence), are comprised of eleven from the United States (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) to which must be added the Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) Project (21)(22)(23)(24)(25). Two studies were in Canada (26)(27)(28), one study was in Australia (29), and five studies were in Britain (30)(31)(32)(33)(34).…”

More than thirty studies of the prevalence of psychiatric disorders have been reported from Western countries in the last thirty years. Significant methodological advances have occurred, including sophistication of sampling techniques, improvements in caseness definitions and identification of cases, and clear definitions and specification of rules for diagnosis. The introduction of standardized diagnostic instruments for use by trained lay interviewers is expected to facilitate studies of psychiatric epidemiology. The methods used in each of the studies are briefly described.

SynopsisThe method is described of a point-prevalence survey of minor psychiatric morbidity among a sample of healthy community residents. The General Health Questionnaire was used as the sole means of case identification. The demographic characteristics of the sample were compared in detail with those of the total population. The factors mainly responsible for sample bias were difficulty with the English language, the varying degree of personal contact made with residents, and the difficulty in contacting the employed population during working hours. The overall response rate of the survey was 66·%. The demographic groups found to be at significantly higher risk for minor psychiatric morbidity included women, the young, non-British migrant women, and lower social class men.
