In 1986 the Christchurch Psychiatric Epidemiology Study obtained interviews with a probability sample of 1498 adults aged 18 to 64 years. The Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) was used to enable DSM-III diagnoses to be made. This paper describes the methodology of the study and reports the lifetime prevalence of specific psychiatric disorders. The highest lifetime prevalences found were for generalised anxiety (31%), alcohol abuse/dependence (19%) and major depressive episode (13%). Men had higher rates of substance abuse whereas women had higher rates of affective disorders and most anxiety disorders. Compared with results from the Epidemiologic Catchment Area Program, Puerto Rico and Edmonton, Christchurch has the highest rates for major depression and is among the highest for alcohol abuse/dependence.
1986年，克赖斯特彻奇精神病流行病学研究对1498名年龄在18至64岁之间的成年人进行了概率抽样访谈。使用诊断访谈表（DIS）来做出《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM - III）的诊断。本文描述了该研究的方法，并报告了特定精神障碍的终生患病率。发现终生患病率最高的是广泛性焦虑症（31%）、酒精滥用/依赖（19%）和重度抑郁发作（13%）。男性的物质滥用率较高，而女性的情感障碍和大多数焦虑症的患病率较高。与波多黎各和埃德蒙顿的流行病学区域项目结果相比，克赖斯特彻奇的重度抑郁症患病率最高，酒精滥用/依赖患病率也位居前列。
