A 10 percent random sample of all active patient charts in the Family Practice Clinic at the University of California, Davis, Sacramento Medical Center was analyzed for age, sex, occupation, marital status, and number of clinic visits in the previous 12 months. Diagnoses and treatments for each visit were also recorded. Thirty-six percent of all adult female patients and 26.5 percent of all adult male patients were diagnosed as having psychosocial problems. Patients with psychosocial diagnoses made more visits for both acute and chronic illnesses and were more frequently diagnosed with illnesses in every diagnostic category than were other patients. Women, patients in blue-collar occupations, and patients who had never married or were divorced were most likely to have psychosocial diagnoses. Of the patients with psychosocial diagnoses, 18.8 percent were treated with antidepressants, 16.0 percent with pain medications, and 11.1 percent with tranquilizers.
对加利福尼亚大学戴维斯分校萨克拉门托医疗中心家庭医疗诊所所有活跃患者病历的10%进行随机抽样，分析其年龄、性别、职业、婚姻状况以及过去12个月内的门诊就诊次数。每次就诊的诊断和治疗情况也进行了记录。所有成年女性患者中有36%、成年男性患者中有26.5%被诊断患有心理社会问题。与其他患者相比，患有心理社会疾病诊断的患者因急性和慢性疾病就诊的次数更多，并且在每个诊断类别中被诊断出疾病的频率更高。女性、从事蓝领职业的患者以及从未结婚或离婚的患者最有可能被诊断患有心理社会疾病。在患有心理社会疾病诊断的患者中，18.8%接受了抗抑郁药治疗，16.0%接受了止痛药治疗，11.1%接受了镇静剂治疗。
