This study investi gated psychiatric disorder in a group of mainly urban, lower social class, young adults who had been regular clinic attenders as a physically healthy control group in a cohort study of sickle cell disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Method The study was cross-sectional in design. Subjects, 44 male and 45 female, were aged 18 to 20 years at the time of the study. The Psychiatric Assessment Schedule was used to determine psychiatric disorder at Index of Definition level 5. Results All subjects approached participated. Rates of psychiatric disorder were 6 (14%) in the male group and 16 (36%) in the female group. There were no psychotic disorders. In the group as a whole, psychiatric disorder was associated with female gender, unemployment, difficulties with social adjustment and number of episodes of physical illness in the 6 months prior to interview. Variables associated with psychiatric distress amongst males included not having a steady relationship, unemployment, criminal activity and difficulties with social adjustment. Variables associated with psychiatric distress amongst females included lack of domestic amenities, not having a mother at home, lack of education, unemployment and social adjustment difficulties.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion Rates of psychiatric disorder were higher than expected, especially for women. Larger studies are indicated to investigate the prevalence of neurotic disorders amongst young people in Jamaica, compared to similar groups in other countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/002076409704300403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,18]],"date-time":"2007-03-18T01:46:51Z","timestamp":1174182411000},"page":"257-268","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Psychiatric Disorder in Young Adults in Jamaica"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Claire","family":"Hilton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Manchester (currently Senior Registrar, Department of Psychiatry of Later Life, Mental Health Service of Salford)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Madeline","family":"Osborn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor, Wales"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Graham","family":"Serjeant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MRC Sickle Cell Laboratories (Jamaica), University of the West Indies, Kingston, Jamaica"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1997,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.164.3.293"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III-R)","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"1987","edition":"3"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00578068"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00788966"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005053-197408000-00005"},{"key":"atypb6","volume-title":"Social Origins of Depression.
