We aimed at designing a cross sectional study to investigate the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in Iranian children and adolescents (IRCAP) and to determine its relationship with social capital, life style, and parents' personality disorders. This cross sectional study was a national project implemented in all provinces of Iran. In this community-based study, using multistage cluster sampling method, we selected 1000 children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years in each province. The total sample size reached to 31 000. We randomly collected 170 blocks. Then, of each cluster head, we selected 6 cases including 3 cases of each gender in different age groups (6- 9 years, 10- 14 years, and 15- 18 years). The clinical psychologists instructed the participants to complete the Persian version of Kiddie-Sads-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). In addition, demographic data (gender, age, education, parent education, and economic situation) and information on lifestyle, social capital, and parents' personality disorders were obtained from the participants. IRCAP study presents a protocol for an epidemiological survey on the first estimates for the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents across the country. This large body of data, on a range of individual behavioural and emotional items and scores, allows us to compare the rates and patterns of deviance between urban and rural places of residence in 31 provinces of Iran with non Iranian samples surveyed with the same measures.
我们旨在设计一项横断面研究，以调查伊朗儿童和青少年精神障碍的患病率（IRCAP），并确定其与社会资本、生活方式和父母人格障碍之间的关系。这项横断面研究是在伊朗所有省份实施的一个国家级项目。在这项基于社区的研究中，我们采用多阶段整群抽样方法，在每个省份选取1000名6至18岁的儿童和青少年。样本总量达到31000名。我们随机收集了170个街区。然后，在每个群集的负责人中，我们选取6个案例，包括不同年龄组（6至9岁、10至14岁和15至18岁）各3个案例，男女各半。临床心理学家指导参与者完成波斯语版的儿童版情感障碍和精神分裂症问卷（K-SADS-PL）。此外，从参与者那里获取了人口统计学数据（性别、年龄、教育程度、父母教育程度和经济状况）以及有关生活方式、社会资本和父母人格障碍的信息。IRCAP研究提出了一项流行病学调查方案，用于对全国儿童和青少年精神障碍患病率的首次估计。这大量关于一系列个体行为和情感项目及分数的数据，使我们能够将伊朗31个省份城乡居住地的偏差率和模式与采用相同测量方法调查的非伊朗样本进行比较。
