To explore ethnic differences in psychopathology, this study examined the prevalence of depressive and anxiety disorders among different ethnic groups in Amsterdam and determined whether ethnic differences can be explained by socio-demographic differences.
A population-based sample of 321 Dutch, 231 Turkish, 191 Moroccan, 87 Surinamese/Antilleans was interviewed by well-trained bilingual interviewers, using the CIDI 2.1. Educational level and income were used as indicators of socio-economic status.
The weighed 1-month prevalence of depressive and/or anxiety disorders was 6.6% (Dutch), 18.7% (Turkish), 9.8% (Moroccans) and 1.2 % (Surinamese/Antilleans). Among Moroccans, the prevalence of affective disorders seemed higher in men than in women, among the Turkish the opposite was observed. Ethnic differences in prevalence could not be explained by socioeconomic differences.
Turkish women and men and Moroccan men in Amsterdam seem to have a higher risk of current affective disorders. Ethnicity is an independent predictor of common mental disorders in the Netherlands.
为探究精神病理学方面的种族差异，本研究调查了阿姆斯特丹不同种族群体中抑郁和焦虑障碍的患病率，并确定种族差异是否可由社会人口统计学差异来解释。
由训练有素的双语访谈员使用CIDI 2.1对一个基于人群的样本进行访谈，该样本包括321名荷兰人、231名土耳其人、191名摩洛哥人、87名苏里南人/安的列斯人。教育水平和收入被用作社会经济地位的指标。
抑郁和/或焦虑障碍的加权1个月患病率在荷兰人为6.6%，土耳其人为18.7%，摩洛哥人为9.8%，苏里南人/安的列斯人为1.2%。在摩洛哥人中，情感障碍的患病率男性似乎高于女性，而在土耳其人中则观察到相反的情况。患病率的种族差异无法用社会经济差异来解释。
阿姆斯特丹的土耳其女性和男性以及摩洛哥男性目前患情感障碍的风险似乎更高。在荷兰，种族是常见精神障碍的一个独立预测因素。
