Forty-two first-episode RDC schizophrenic patients were matched on sociodemographic variables with an equal number of control subjects. The life-event histories of both groups for 6 months before onset or interview were compared. Onset of illness was not preceded by an increase in life events. The only significant observation was that control subjects had experienced more events in the month previous to interview. These were reported mainly by male control subjects, involved the family, and were possibly related to the period when the control subjects were interviewed. The observations are discussed within the context of the Nigerian culture.
42名首发的精神分裂症诊断标准（RDC）的精神分裂症患者与同等数量的对照受试者在社会人口学变量上进行匹配。对两组在发病或访谈前6个月的生活事件史进行了比较。疾病发作前生活事件并没有增加。唯一显著的观察结果是，对照受试者在访谈前一个月经历了更多事件。这些事件主要由男性对照受试者报告，涉及家庭，并且可能与对照受试者接受访谈的时期有关。在尼日利亚文化的背景下对这些观察结果进行了讨论。
