The South Africa Stress and Health Study (SASH) is a large psychiatric epidemiological survey that is currently underway in South Africa. It is a part of the World Health Organization's World Mental Health (WMH) 2000 initiative and seeks to complete interviews with a nationally representative sample of 5000 adults. The WMH initiative is obtaining population-based data on the prevalence and severity of specific psychiatric disorders, demographic and psychosocial correlates of these diagnoses, and the levels and adequacy of mental health service utilization. SASH is using the fully structured pencil and paper version of the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) to assess lifetime and 12-month rates of mental disorders using both the DSM-IV and the ICD-10 diagnostic systems. In addition, the SASH seeks to collect information on the prevalence of exposure to physical and psychological torture in South Africa and to assess the association between such traumas and specific psychiatric disorders. It will also assess a broad range of risk factors and resources that may modify the association between exposure to human rights violations and mental health.
南非压力与健康研究（SASH）是一项正在南非开展的大型精神病学流行病学调查。它是世界卫生组织2000年世界心理健康（WMH）倡议的一部分，旨在对5000名具有全国代表性的成年人进行访谈。WMH倡议正在获取基于人群的数据，内容包括特定精神疾病的患病率和严重程度、这些诊断的人口统计学和社会心理相关因素，以及心理健康服务利用的水平和充分性。SASH正在使用世界卫生组织综合国际诊断访谈（CIDI）的全结构化纸笔版本，通过DSM-IV和ICD-10诊断系统来评估精神疾病的终生患病率和12个月患病率。此外，SASH旨在收集有关南非身体和心理折磨暴露率的信息，并评估此类创伤与特定精神疾病之间的关联。它还将评估一系列广泛的风险因素和资源，这些因素可能会改变人权侵犯暴露与心理健康之间的关联。
