Characteristics of city and suburban admissions to a state-operated outpatient clinic for mentally retarded children were reported. City admissions tended to be overrepresented among lower socioeconomic groups and minorities. Suburban admissions tended to approximate the characteristics of the population of suburbia as a whole. A stepwise discriminant-function analysis between city and suburban admissions showed race to be the best predictor. Employment and occupational status, type of family structure, and certain referral agents also discriminated city and suburban admissions to varying degrees.
报告了一家公立智障儿童门诊城市和郊区就诊者的特征。城市就诊者在社会经济地位较低群体和少数族裔中所占比例往往过高。郊区就诊者的特征往往与整个郊区人口的特征相近。对城市和郊区就诊者进行的逐步判别函数分析表明，种族是最佳预测因素。就业和职业状况、家庭结构类型以及某些转诊机构在不同程度上也能区分城市和郊区就诊者。
