Few studies estimate rural psychiatric disorder rates. No study has reported either DSM-III-R or DSM IV disorder prevalence and mental health service use among US rural young adults. This paper reports psychiatric disorder prevalence, comorbidity, service utilization, and disorder correlates in a community sample of 536 young adults, aged 19 to 23 years, living in the rural Midwestern US. More than 60% of the sample met criteria for a lifetime disorder. Substance use disorders were most prevalent. Results indicate that young adults living in the rural Midwest demonstrate substantial rates of psychiatric disorder that are comparable to other population groups.
很少有研究估算农村地区的精神障碍发病率。尚无研究报告美国农村青年成年人中《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版修订本（DSM-III-R）或第四版（DSM-IV）所定义的精神障碍患病率以及心理健康服务的使用情况。本文报告了居住在美国中西部农村地区的536名年龄在19至23岁之间的社区青年成年人样本中的精神障碍患病率、共病情况、服务利用情况以及与精神障碍相关的因素。超过60%的样本符合终身精神障碍的标准。物质使用障碍最为普遍。结果表明，生活在美国中西部农村地区的青年成年人精神障碍发病率相当高，与其他人群相当。
