The Sichuan Mental Health Survey

The Sichuan Mental Health Survey (SMHS) is a provincially representative survey with a coherent methodology to obtain the prevalence of multiple mental disorders and data of services used and to analyze the psychological and social risk factors or correlates in Sichuan, China. Mental disorders include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia, and other psychotic disorders, drug use and alcohol use disorders, impulse control disorder, and eating disorders. A cross-sectional design is employed to sample adults from 200 communities/villages in all 21 prefectural-level municipalities of Sichuan Province in a five-stage provincially representative disproportionate stratified sampling design. The participants need to be interviewed face to face by trained interviewers from local primary healthcare institutions and by psychiatrists. The quality control staff implement data quality control by checking records and statistics in the interview system, and then re-interviewing checks are done by the psychiatrists. Data is weighted to adjust the sample distribution to match the whole population. The outcomes of the SMHS would not only demonstrate the serious challenges posed by the high burdens of mental disorders but also offer baseline data for policymakers and healthcare professionals to study and resolve the factors that influence mental health in Sichuan, China
