A CHILD PSYCHIATRY EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDY IN PUERTO RICO

试点数据的收集和分析工作已经完成。 实地调查于1985年9月20日开始。年的第三年 本项目结束了两个阶段的主要内容 流行病学研究。在第一阶段，儿童行为 检查清单将从家长和教师处获取 波多黎各岛上900名儿童的代表性样本 里科。那些孩子的分数高于先前确定的 家长或教师CBCL中的分界点将为 被认为是阳性筛查，并被带去做进一步的评估。 此外，120名得分低于分数点的科目将被 随机选择，并进行评估。预计 大约450-500名受试者，阳性和阴性 屏幕，将在第二阶段看到。 所获得的数据将提供对艾滋病患病率的估计 波多黎各4-16岁儿童的精神障碍。 这将在不同级别获得：具体诊断(在 较高患病率的诊断)、诊断群和其他 诊断级别较高的级别。还将对数据进行关联 具有人口统计变量，并提供需求测量 评估。因为要访问的家庭样本是 与成人流行病学研究相同(MH 36230-01) 将获得关于流行性出血热流行的相关性 生活在同一个家庭的儿童的精神病理学 心烦意乱的成年人。 这项建议概述了延迟执行的理由。 这项研究。目前对1986年的建议数额增加到一个 1985年的大量结转将把这项工程进行到底。 1986年6月。本补充申请将提供 1986年7月至12月期间的数据分析和报告。

The collection and analysis of the pilot data has been completed. The field survey started on September 20, 1985. The third year of this project concludes the principal element of the two-stage epidemiologic study. In the first stage, the Child Behavior Checklist will be obtained from parents and teachers of representative sample of 900 children in the island of Puerto Rico. Those children scoring above the previously determined cutoff point in either the parent or teacher CBCL will be considered a positive screen and brought in for further evaluation. In addition, 120 subjects scoring below the cut-points will be randomly selected and also evaluated. It is anticipated that approximately between 450-500 subjects, positve and negative screens, will be seen in the second stage. The data obtained will provide estimates of the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in Puerto Rico in children aged 4-16 years. This will be obtained at various levels: specific diagnoses (in diagnoses of higher prevalence), diagnostic clusters, and at other levels of higher diagnostic rank. The data will also be correlated with demographic variables as well as provide measures of need assessment. Because the sample of households to be visited is the same as those in the adult epidemiologic study (MH 36230-01) correlations will be obtained on the prevalence of psychopathology in children who live in the same household with a disturbed adult. This proposal outlines reason for delay in the implemenation of this study. The current recommended amount for 1986 added to a substantial carry over from 1985 will carry the project through June 1986. The present supplemental application will provide a period of data analysis and reporting from July-December 1986.
