We examined the lifetime and the past-year prevalence and correlates of common mental disorders among American Indian and Alaska Native women who presented for primary care.
We screened 489 consecutively presenting female primary care patients aged 18 through 45 years with the General Health Questionnaire, 12-item version. A subsample (n = 234) completed the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. We examined associations between psychiatric disorders and sociodemographic variables, boarding school attendance, and psychopathology in the family of origin.
The study participants had high rates of alcohol use disorders, anxiety disorders, and anxiety/depression comorbidity compared with other samples of non-American Indian/Alaska Native women in primary care settings.
There is a need for culturally appropriate mental health treatments and preventive services.
我们调查了前来接受初级保健的美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民女性中常见精神障碍的终生患病率、过去一年患病率及其相关因素。
我们使用12项版的一般健康问卷对489名年龄在18至45岁之间、连续前来就诊的女性初级保健患者进行了筛查。一个子样本(n = 234)完成了综合国际诊断访谈。我们研究了精神障碍与社会人口统计学变量、寄宿学校就读经历以及原生家庭中的精神病理学之间的关联。
与初级保健环境中其他非美国印第安/阿拉斯加原住民女性样本相比,本研究参与者的酒精使用障碍、焦虑症以及焦虑/抑郁共病率较高。
需要有适合文化背景的心理健康治疗和预防服务。
