对来自纽约和伦敦公立精神病院的患者样本进行了检查，以调查住院患者中精神分裂症与情感障碍比例的跨国差异的来源。造成这种差异的主要原因是，纽约的医院工作人员倾向于将所有类型的患者（不包括酗酒者、吸毒者和器质性疾病患者）诊断为精神分裂症，而在伦敦，某些类型的患者主要被诊断为精神分裂症，其他患者主要被诊断为情感障碍。
Samples of patients from New York and London public mental hospitals were examined to investigate the sources of the reported cross-national difference in the ratio of schizophrenia to affective disorder among hospital admissions. The primary source of this difference was that the hospital staffs in New York tend to diagnose all kinds of patients (excluding alcoholics, drug addicts and patients with organic disorders) as schizophrenic, whereas in London some kinds of patients are diagnosed mainly as schizophrenic and others mainly as affective disorder.
