目的：本研究旨在了解成年缓刑犯精神障碍症状的患病率和使用精神卫生服务的可能性。研究方法：2001年全国药物滥用家庭调查的数据被用来获取关于报告精神障碍症状的成年人的信息，这些成年人在过去一年内曾被缓刑，而那些没有被缓刑的人。结果：27%的缓刑犯（1,168人中的311人）和17%的非缓刑犯（34,230人中的5,830人）有精神障碍症状。两组中有23%的人报告使用了心理健康服务。与没有被缓刑的人相比，缓刑犯更容易报告精神病，躁狂症和创伤后应激障碍;两组人都有可能报告抑郁症。结论：精神障碍症状的患病率并不因缓刑状况而异。但两组患者的症状类型和分布差异有统计学意义。这些都是规划与精神卫生提供者的服务联系时的重要考虑因素。（精神病学服务60：542-544，2009）
Objective: This study examined the prevalence of mental disorder symptoms among adult probationers and the probability of mental health service use. Methods: Data from the 2001 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse were used to obtain information on adults reporting mental disorder symptoms who had been on probation within the past year and those who had not. Results: Twenty-seven percent of probationers (N=311 of 1,168) and 17% of nonprobationers (N=5,830 of 34,230) had mental disorder symptoms. Mental health service use was reported by 23% of both groups. Compared with persons who had not been on probation, probationers were more likely to report psychosis, mania, and post-traumatic stress disorder; both groups were as likely to report depression. Conclusions: The prevalence of mental disorder symptoms did not differ by probation status. However, the type and distribution of symptoms were significantly different in the two groups. These are important considerations when planning for service connection with mental health providers. (Psychiatric Services 60: 542-544, 2009)
