The Taiwan Psychiatric Epidemiological Project, conducted from 1982 to 1986, used the multistage random sampling method with 5005, 3004 and 2995 subjects selected respectively from metropolitan Taipei (MT), 2 small towns (ST) and 6 rural villages (RV). The case identification tool was the Chinese modified Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS-CM). This study presents the lifetime and one-year prevalence of 27 and of 17 specific psychiatric disorders respectively. The lifetime prevalence of any disorder defined by the DIS-CM -- excluding tobacco dependence -- was 16.3%, 28.0% and 21.5% in the MT, ST and RV samples respectively. The differences in lifetime prevalence between the sexes and between the 3 sampling areas were significant for 15 and 8 disorders respectively. The ST sample seemed to have the most disorders, with the highest prevalence among 3 sampling areas. The mean ratio of one-year to lifetime prevalence was 0.67. The differences in prevalence rates between the 3 sampling areas and between the international studies are discussed from methodological, social and cultural points of view.
台湾精神疾病流行病学项目于1982年至1986年开展，采用多阶段随机抽样方法，分别从台北都会区（MT）、2个小镇（ST）和6个乡村（RV）选取了5005名、3004名和2995名受试者。病例识别工具为中文修订版诊断访谈表（DIS-CM）。本研究分别呈现了27种和17种特定精神疾病的终生患病率和一年患病率。由DIS-CM定义的任何疾病（不包括烟草依赖）的终生患病率在MT、ST和RV样本中分别为16.3%、28.0%和21.5%。15种和8种疾病在性别之间以及3个抽样地区之间的终生患病率差异均具有统计学意义。ST样本中的疾病似乎最多，在3个抽样地区中患病率最高。一年患病率与终生患病率的平均比值为0.67。从方法学、社会和文化角度讨论了3个抽样地区之间以及与国际研究之间患病率的差异。
