本研究检验了社会经济地位（SES）和精神疾病之间的负相关的潜在因果结构的几个假设。它是通过对1994-2000财政年度马萨诸塞州急性精神病住院的全州纵向数据库以及补充的人口普查数据进行分析来做到这一点的。建模策略采用结构方程建模技术，发现SES直接影响精神疾病的发病率，并通过经济困难对中低收入群体的影响间接影响。
This study tests several hypotheses about the underlying causal structure of the inverse correlation between socioeconomic status (SES) and mental illness. It does this through the analysis of a longitudinal statewide database on acute psychiatric hospitalization in Massachusetts for the fiscal years 1994-2000 as well as supplemental census data. The modeling strategy used techniques of structural equation modeling and found that SES impacted directly on rates of mental illness as well as indirectly through the impact of economic hardship on low and middle income groups.
