One hypothesis to explain these findings is that patients with a \ndiagnosis of schizophrenia or patients with symptoms of psychosis not specifically diagnosed, \nemigrate more than the general population. Such selection might account for high rates of \nSurinamese patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia in Netherlands psychiatric hospitals. We \nexamined this hypothesis.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods.<\/jats:bold> The files of patients with schizophrenia or patients suffering from unspecified psychosis \nwere selected from the archives of the National Psychiatric Hospital in Surinam. These patients were \ntraced to investigate patterns of emigration. Data from the Central Bureau for Statistics in the \nNetherlands and from the Central Population Bureau in Surinam provided the percentage of the \ngeneral Surinamese population that emigrated to the Netherlands. The difference between the two \npercentages was evaluated using the chi-squared test.
