Afro-Caribbean immigrants are reported to have a high rate of schizophrenia compared with other population groups.
In a prospective first contact study of schizophrenia in Jamaica in 1992, 335 patients were examined using the Present State Examination.
285 patients were evaluated as having a PSE 'restrictive' S+ diagnosis of schizophrenia, and 32 as having a 'broad' S?, P, or O diagnosis of schizophrenia. With a population of 2.46 million, this represents a first-contact incidence rate for 'restrictive' schizophrenia of 1.16 per 10,000 population, and an age-corrected (15-54) incidence rate of 2.09 per 10,000.
Incidence rates for schizophrenia in Jamaica are lower than those reported in Afro-Caribbean immigrants in the UK and Holland, and within the reported range for other population groups worldwide.
据报道，与其他人群相比，非洲加勒比移民患精神分裂症的比例较高。
在1992年对牙买加精神分裂症进行的一项前瞻性首次接触研究中，使用现况检查对335名患者进行了检查。
285名患者被评估为患有精神分裂症的现况检查“限制性”S+诊断，32名患者被评估为患有精神分裂症的“宽泛”S？、P或O诊断。在246万人口中，这代表“限制性”精神分裂症的首次接触发病率为每10000人口1.16例，年龄校正后（15 - 54岁）发病率为每10000人口2.09例。
牙买加精神分裂症的发病率低于英国和荷兰非洲加勒比移民的报道发病率，且在全球其他人群报道的范围内。
