Patients evaluated by the authors as consulting clinical psychiatrists in a cross-cultural setting, Micronesia, form the basis for an examination of regional variations in demographic characteristics, diagnoses, and referral patterns. Different rates of occurrence of disorders, selective referral practices, and diversity in manifestation of symptomatology are all considered. The authors offer suggestions regarding social and cultural factors which may account for the observed differences.
作者在密克罗尼西亚这种跨文化背景下,对咨询临床精神科医生的患者进行了评估,这些患者构成了研究人口统计学特征、诊断和转诊模式区域差异的基础。研究考虑了不同疾病的发生率、选择性转诊做法以及症状表现的多样性。作者针对可能导致所观察到差异的社会和文化因素提出了建议。
