A total of 77 socioeconomic and demographic variables and 46 indices of bio-psycho-social dysfunction were gathered on each of Minnesota's 87 counties. All of these were expressed in rates per 10,000 population or other standard figures. Various analyses were performed on the data. It was demonstrated that half of the variance in state hospital load was associated with socioeconomic variables. Poor counties showed a higher incidence and prevalence of major mental illness than did wealthier counties. Practical planning can be carried out for future mental health facilities by utilizing population and socioeconomic indices.
明尼苏达州 87 个县中，每个县都收集了 77 项社会经济和人口统计学变量以及 46 项生物心理社会功能障碍指标。所有这些数据都以每 10000 人口或其他标准数字的比率表示。对这些数据进行了各种分析。结果表明，州立医院负荷的一半方差与社会经济变量有关。贫困县的主要精神疾病发病率和患病率高于富裕县。通过利用人口和社会经济指数，可以为未来的精神卫生设施进行实际规划。
