斯特林县的研究是在大西洋加拿大的一个地区进行的精神病学流行病学的持续纵向调查[墨菲(1986年)L。关于成人样本收集了三种不同类型的信息：1)精神病学专科服务的治疗记录；2)从精神病学家进行的访谈中得出的全科医生的报告；以及3)基于训练有素的采访者进行的面对面访谈的结构化询问的答复。综合这些来源的证据，我们1952年的基线研究表明，所有类型的精神障碍的患病率加在一起约为20%：[Leighton(1959)，Hughes et al.(1960)，Leighton et al.(1963)L。这个总的患病率包括器质性脑综合征、精神发育迟滞和精神病。精神神经症，以及心理生理和人格类别的障碍。最常见的类型是抑郁、焦虑和其他神经性障碍，当组合在一起时，患病率约为12.5%(Murphy(1980))。大多数有关神经症的证据来自对受试者本身的访谈，而关于其他类型的证据则由医生和治疗记录提供。1962年，我们在选定的社区进行了一项新的但规模较小的横断面研究。精神神经症的患病率在这个时候再次约为12%(Murphy(1972)j。1970年，我们对以前的样本进行了跟踪调查，并对整个县进行了新的横断面调查。到目前为止，数据库包括3837次对受试者的采访，7711份全科医生关于这些主题的报告。还有一份病例登记簿，其中包括1745名首次入院的人，以及在选定的年份里，在为该县服务的精神健康中心接受治疗的总人数。
The Stirling County Study is-an ongoing longitudinal investigation of psychiatric epidemiology carried out in an area of Atlantic Canada [Murphy (1986) l. Three different types of information have been gathered about samples of adults: 1) records of treatment in psychiatric specialty services; 2) reports from general physicians derived from interviews carried out by psychiatrists; and 3) responses to a structured inquiry based on face-to-face interviews conducted by trained interviewers. Combining evidence from these sources, our baseline study of 1952 indicated that the prevalence of all types of psychiatric disorders aggregated together was about 20%:[Leighton (1959), Hughes et al.(1960), Leighton et al.(1963) l. This overall rate included organic brain syndromes, mental retardation, psychoses. psychoneuroses, as well as disorders in the psychophysiologic and personality categories. The most common types were depression, anxiety, and other neurotic disorders that, when grouped together, formed a prevalence rate of approximately 12 5%[Murphy (1980)). Most of the evidence about neurotic disorders came from the interviews with subjects themselves, while evidence about other types was supplied by the physicians and treatment records.In 1962 we carried out a new but smaller cross-sectional study in selected communities. The prevalence of psychoneurotic disorders at this time was again about 12%(Murphy (1972) j. In 1970 we conducted follow-up investigations of the earlier samples as well as making a new cross-sectional survey of the county as a whole. By this time the data base consisted of 3837 interviews with subjects, 7711 reports by general physicians about these subjects. and a case register of 1745 first admissions and, for selected years, total persons in treatment at the mental health center that serves the county.
