The persistence and new onset of psychiatric disorder were studied in a sample of 734 children from the general population. Diagnoses for six of the more prevalent disorders were generated from maternal and child interviews when the children were ages 9-18 and again 2 1/2 years later. Analyses demonstrated substantial levels of diagnostic persistence over the 2 1/2 year period for all diagnoses except major depression. With few exceptions persistence was roughly equivalent for age and gender subgroups. It is concluded that disorders assessed by structured interview of non-clinical samples of children cannot be dismissed as transitory.
在来自普通人群的734名儿童样本中，对精神疾病的持续存在和新发情况进行了研究。当这些儿童9至18岁时，通过母婴访谈确定了六种较常见疾病的诊断，并且在2年半后再次进行访谈。分析表明，除重度抑郁症外，在这2年半的时间里，所有诊断的诊断持续性水平都很高。除少数例外情况，年龄和性别亚组的持续性大致相同。得出的结论是，通过对儿童非临床样本进行结构化访谈评估的疾病不能被视为短暂性的。
