A considerable proportion of the Swedish population are of immigrant or refugee origin. This puts new demands on psychiatric care. In Stockholm county, immigrants of non-Scandinavian origin are characterised by lower psychiatric care utilisation rates than are the remainder of the county population. Population studies of multi-ethnic suburban areas in west Stockholm have shown the non-Scandinavian subgroup of the population to be characterised by somewhat lower utilisation of acute and short-term psychiatric care, as compared with native Swedes, but a clearly higher utilisation of primary psychiatric care facilities. Available evidence suggests the existence of several subgroups with high frequencies of mental ill-health in these areas. If sectorized psychiatry is to meet the demands of the population as a whole, economic prioritization is needed, as well as improved knowledge and methodology regarding cross-cultural psychiatry.
瑞典相当一部分人口有移民或难民背景。这对精神科护理提出了新的要求。在斯德哥尔摩县，非斯堪的纳维亚裔移民的精神科护理利用率低于该县其他人口。对斯德哥尔摩西部多民族郊区的人口研究表明，与瑞典本地人相比，该人群中的非斯堪的纳维亚裔亚组在急性和短期精神科护理方面的利用率略低，但在初级精神科护理设施的利用率方面明显更高。现有证据表明，这些地区存在几个心理健康问题高发的亚组。如果部门化精神科要满足全体人口的需求，就需要进行经济优先级排序，以及提高跨文化精神医学方面的知识和方法。
