The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence rate of priority psychiatric disorders in a rural area in Kerala and to find out the sociodemographic correlates of the morbidity. A door to door survey had been conducted by trained surveyors to identify individuals with priority psychiatric disorders. The detected cases were examined by a psychiatrist at their houses in the village itself, to confirm as to whether they were having any psychiatric disorder. Out of the 1094 households surveyed (having a population of five thousand two hundred and eighty four), seventy seven individuals were found to have priority psychiatric disorders giving a prevalence rate of 14.57 per thousand. Females in general showed increased mental morbidity. An increased prevalence rate has been observed among Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. An increased morbidity is noticed among the people belonging to the lower socioeconomic status.
本研究旨在确定喀拉拉邦农村地区优先精神障碍的流行率，并找出发病率的社会人口学相关因素。通过受过培训的调查员进行了逐户调查，以确定患有优先精神障碍的个体。在村庄中，由精神科医生在患者家中对已发现的病例进行检查，以确认他们是否患有任何精神障碍。在调查的 1094 户家庭（人口为 5284 人）中，发现有 77 人患有优先精神障碍，患病率为千分之 14.57。一般来说，女性的精神发病率更高。在在册种姓/在册部落中观察到患病率增加。社会经济地位较低的人群发病率较高。
