A mental health program developed for the huge tropical Pacific area of Micronesia is described. Training of para-professionals as mental health coordinators for the six main island districts of Micronesia was undertaken to respond to the most pressing mental health needs of these scattered islands. Adequate follow-up care of the chronically mentally ill was the first priority with less urgent needs addressed secondarily. Frequent on-island visits by the supervising psychiatrist to teach patient-related evaluation and treatment procedures was of importance. A program with dispersed para-professional coverage and centralized supervision may have relevance for other large areas with a scattered and low population.
本文描述了为密克罗尼西亚广袤的热带太平洋地区制定的一项心理健康项目。为应对这些分散岛屿最为紧迫的心理健康需求，对辅助专业人员进行了培训，使其成为密克罗尼西亚六个主要岛屿地区的心理健康协调员。为慢性精神病患者提供充分的后续护理是首要任务，其次才处理不太紧急的需求。督导精神病医生频繁登岛传授与患者相关的评估和治疗程序至关重要。一个由辅助专业人员分散覆盖且集中督导的项目可能适用于其他人口分散且稀少的大片地区。
