[Multidimensional analysis of the relation between the resources of the psychiatric service and the detection and prevalence of mental patients in regions of Siberia and the Far East].

The article deals with the assessment of the main components and canonic correlations reflecting the relationship between the resources of psychiatric care (a number of beds and psychiatrists providing medical care in hospitals and in other settings) and the rate of identification and incidence of psychoses, schizophrenia, epilepsy, alcoholism, neuroses and oligophrenia in Siberia and Far East over a period of 16 years (from 1965 to 1981 excluding 1978). The first main component covered up to 80.1% of the dispersion range of the identification rate and 94.5% of the incidence rate, the second component covered up to 37.1% and 21% respectively. Canonic correlations proved higher for the incidence rate as against the identification rate. Although there were substantial differences in the studied interrelationship with regard to a number of territories, the main tendency was expressed in a marked linear correlation between a growth in the resources of psychiatric service and the time-course of the rates of the studied pathology.
