To examine what the general public is learning about schizophrenia, all articles on schizophrenia listed in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature for all even-numbered years between 1964 and 1992 were read and rated. Hallucinations and delusions were the most commonly mentioned symptoms in the articles reviewed, biochemical dysfunction and heredity the most noted causes, and drugs the most cited treatment. The average yearly number of articles was relatively small, however (9.1), and only a minority of those appeared in general circulation magazines. In addition, community support was seldom included in discussions of treatment and specific misconceptions about schizophrenia were rarely addressed.
为了探究普通大众对精神分裂症的了解情况，我们阅读并评估了1964年至1992年期间《期刊文献读者指南》中列出的所有关于精神分裂症的文章。幻觉和妄想是所审查文章中最常提及的症状，生化功能障碍和遗传是最常被提及的病因，药物是最常被提及的治疗方法。然而，文章的年均数量相对较少（9.1篇），其中只有少数发表在大众流通杂志上。此外，治疗讨论中很少涉及社区支持，关于精神分裂症的具体误解也很少被提及。
