A glossary on psychiatric epidemiology
Psychiatric epidemiology constitutes an important subdiscipline of scientific psychiatry. Nevertheless, it still lags behind other branches of epidemiology. This has been attributed to the difficulties encountered in conceptualising and measuring mental disorders.1 It is only recently that the emphasis in the field has shifted from descriptive to analytical research and this is probably because of the influences from genetic epidemiology and soci…
Prediction of depression in European general practice attendees
Response rate to follow-up in all countries was uniformly high, which suggests that prediction will be based on almost a full cohort. The results of our reliability analysis are encouraging and suggest that data collected during the course of PREDICT will have a satisfactory level of stability. The development of a multi-factor risk score for depression will lay the foundation for future research on risk reduction in primary care. Our data will a…
Bidirectional associations between depression/anxiety and bowel disease in a population based cohort
The Distribution of Psychiatric and Somatic Ill Health
OBJECTIVE: Psychiatric and somatic disorders frequently co-occur in the same individuals. We examined whether this happens because these types of morbidity share risk factors or because they are risk factors for each other. METHODS: Negative binomial regression was used to examine, in a random sample of Dutch adults (N = 7076), cross-sectional associations of sociodemographic and personality variables like income and neuroticism with the presence…
Ethnic density and deliberate self harm; a small area study in south east London
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Relative risks are frequently used to convey how strongly outcomes like mental illness and suicidal behaviour are associated with personal characteristics like ethnic background. This study examined whether RRs for deliberate self harm (DSH) in ethnic groups vary between small areas according to their ethnic mix. DESIGN: Small area study of DSH rates in ethnic groups, by local ethnic density, using negative binomial regression. S…
Suicide, religion, and socioeconomic conditions. An ecological study in 26 countries, 1990
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Relative risks are frequently assumed to be stable across populations but this may not apply in psychiatric epidemiology where sociocultural context may modify them. Such ecological effect modification will give curved associations between aggregated risk factor and outcome. This was examined in connection with the ecological association between suicide rates and an aggregate index of religiosity. DESIGN: Ecological study of asso…
Fatal methadone and heroin overdoses
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Although the total number of self poisonings in England and Wales has dropped by 32%, the number involving methadone and/or heroin rose by 900% in 1974-92. Because of concern about the role of methadone in this increase, the part played by methadone and heroin in poisoning deaths in England and Wales in 1974-92 was investigated. DESIGN: A proportional mortality design was used to study whether the ratio between deaths involving m…
Why do psychiatrists neglect religion
This paper analyses a number of possible reasons why modern psychiatry has neglected the therapeutic effects of religious beliefs. The gap which exists between psychiatry and religion is a relatively recent phenomenon and is partly related to psychiatry's progress in elucidating the biological and psychological causes of mental illness, rendering religious explanations superfluous. In addition, it is often assumed that religious attitudes are ine…
Religious Identity and Comfort Beliefs in Three Groups of Psychiatric Patients and a Group of Medical Controls
In order to assess the religious beliefs and practices of psychiatric patients, a self- report questionnaire was developed. The questionnaire was administered to 73 psychiatric patients and 25 non-psychiatric controls. Older age, membership of an ethnic minority and the presence of psychiatric disorder were all significantly associated with higher scores on the questionnaire. Psychotic subjects obtained the highest scores whilst those of depresse…
