欧洲精神障碍流行病学研究 (ESEMeD/MHEDEA 2000) 是一项新的横断面研究，调查了六个欧洲国家精神障碍的患病率和相关因素，及其对健康相关生活质量和服务使用的影响。本文描述了该项目分析的理由、方法和计划。来自比利时、法国、德国、意大利、荷兰和西班牙的总共 22,000 名代表 18 岁及以上非收容人口的人在家中接受了访谈。训练有素的访谈员使用计算机辅助个人访谈（CAPI），包括最新版本的综合国际诊断访谈（CIDI，2000），这是一项成熟的流行病学调查，用于评估精神障碍。这是第一项使用标准化最新方法进行流行病学评估的国际研究。预计卫生服务满足的患病率、影响和需求水平存在相当大的差异。对这些差异的分析应有助于监测欧洲正在进行的精神卫生改革举措，并提供新的研究假设。
The European Study of the Epidemiology of Mental Disorders (ESEMeD/MHEDEA 2000) is a new cross-sectional study investigating the prevalence and the associated factors of mental disorders, as well as their effect on health-related quality of life and the use of services in six European countries. This paper describes the rationale, methods and the plan for the analysis of the project.A total of 22,000 individuals representative of the non-institutionalized population aged 18 and over from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain are being interviewed in their homes. Trained interviewers use a computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI) including the most recent version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI, 2000), a well-established epidemiological survey for assessing mental disorders.This is the first international study using the standardized up-to-date methodology for epidemiological assessment. Sizeable differences in prevalence, impact and level of need that is met by the health services are expected.The analysis of these differences should facilitate the monitoring of ongoing mental health reform initiatives in Europe and provide new research hypotheses.
