Personality disorders in the community

人格障碍是严重的精神障碍。尽管如此，这些疾病在澳大利亚社区的流行程度在很大程度上是未知的，它们对身体和其他精神健康状况的影响以及对澳大利亚医疗和精神保健服务的影响也是未知的。这项流行病学研究将回答这些问题，旨在为公共卫生规划和服务提供实践提供信息，并促进该领域未来的卫生经济学研究。

Personality disorders are serious psychiatric disorders. Despite this, the prevalence of these disorders in the Australian community is largely unknown, as is their influence on physical and other mental health conditions and impact on Australia’s medical and mental health care services. This epidemiological study will answer these questions, with the aim of informing public health planning and service delivery practices and prompting future health economic research in this area.
