Abstract

Selection of the appropriate number and types of social indicators for use in mental health planning has been a perennial problem. Social indicators have been associated with several concepts (quality of life, community disorganization, populations at risk) of varying relevance for planning mental health services, and abstracting social indicators from these conceptual domains poses a variety of validity issues. The issues are discussed, and the viability of social indicators in mental health planning is reexamined.

摘要

选择适用于心理健康规划的社会指标的数量和类型一直是个长期存在的问题。社会指标与心理健康服务规划中相关性各异的几个概念（生活质量、社区混乱、风险人群）相关联，而从这些概念领域中提取社会指标会引发各种效度问题。本文将对这些问题进行讨论，并重新审视社会指标在心理健康规划中的可行性。
