总统精神卫生委员会强调了迄今尚未得到满足的一项需求，即将关于精神障碍流行情况的数据与关于使用精神卫生服务的国家数据联系起来。本研究分析现有的流行病学资料和最近的精神卫生服务研究结果，以估计患有精神障碍的人口的百分比，以及利用各种类型的专业精神卫生和一般医疗机构的比例。初步估计表明，每年至少有15%的美国人受到精神障碍的影响。1975年，其中只有五分之一在专业精神保健部门得到服务，大约五分之三在一般医疗（初级保健）部门得到服务。
The President's Commission on Mental Health has highlighted a heretofore unmet need for the linkage of data on the prevalence of mental disorder with national data on the use of mental health services. This study analyzes available epidemiological data and recent mental health services research findings to estimate the percent of the population with a mental disorder and the proportion utilizing various types of specialty mental health and general medical treatment settings. Provisional estimates indicate that at least 15% of the US population is affected by mental disorders in one year. In 1975, only one fifth of these were served in the specialty mental health sector, with about three fifths identified in the general medical (primary care) sector.
