Mental disorders are highly prevalent conditions with immense disease burden. To inform health and social services policy formulation, local psychiatric epidemiological data are required. The Hong Kong Mental Morbidity Survey is a 3-year population-based study in which 5700 community-dwelling Chinese adults aged between 16 and 75 years were interviewed with the aim of evaluating the prevalence, co-morbidity, functional impairment, physical morbidity, and social determinants of significant mental disorders in the population. This paper describes the background and design of the survey, and is the first territory-wide psychiatric epidemiological study in Hong Kong.
精神障碍是极为普遍的疾病,疾病负担巨大。为了为卫生和社会服务政策的制定提供依据,需要本地的精神疾病流行病学数据。香港精神疾病患病率调查是一项为期三年的基于人群的研究,对5700名年龄在16至75岁之间居住在社区的中国成年人进行了访谈,目的是评估该人群中严重精神障碍的患病率、共病情况、功能损害、躯体疾病以及社会决定因素。本文描述了该调查的背景和设计,是香港首个全地区范围的精神疾病流行病学研究。
