We conducted an epidemiological study in the state of Goa to describe the current prevalence of mental disorders and its correlates among adolescents aged between 12 and 16 years.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>To estimate the prevalence and correlates of mental disorders in adolescents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Population-based survey of all eligible adolescents from six urban wards and four rural communities which were randomly selected. We used a Konkani translation of the Development and Well-Being Assessment to diagnose current DSM-IV emotional and behavioural disorders. All adolescents were also interviewed on socio-economic factors, education, neighbourhood, parental relations, peer and sexual relationships, violence and substance use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Out of 2684 eligible adolescents, 2048 completed the study. The current prevalence of any DSM-IV diagnosis was 1.81%; 95% CI 1.27\u20132.48. The most common diagnoses were anxiety disorders (1.0%), depressive disorder (0.5%), behavioural disorder (0.4%) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (0.2%). Adolescents from urban areas and girls who faced gender discrimination had higher prevalence. The final multivariate model found an independent association of mental disorders with an outgoing \u2018non-traditional\u2019 lifestyle (frequent partying, going to the cinema, shopping for fun and having a boyfriend or girlfriend), difficulties with studies, lack of safety in the neighbourhood, a history of physical or verbal abuse and tobacco use. Having one's family as the primary source of social support was associated with lower prevalence of mental disorders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The current prevalence of mental disorders in adolescents in our study was very low compared with studies in other countries. Strong family support was a critical factor associated with low prevalence of mental disorders, while factors indicative of adoption of a non-traditional lifestyle were associated with an increased prevalence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.bp.106.034223","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,3]],"date-time":"2008-01-03T21:50:38Z","timestamp":1199397038000},"page":"45-51","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":107,"title":["Non-traditional lifestyles and prevalence of mental disorders in adolescents in Goa, India"],"prefix":"10.1192","volume":"192","author":[{"given":"Aravind","family":"Pillai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vikram","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Percy","family":"Cardozo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Goodman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helen A.","family":"Weiss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gracy","family":"Andrew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"170","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007125000248435_ref40","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00127-005-0851-z"},{"key":"S0007125000248435_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004583-200310000-00011"},{"key":"S0007125000248435_ref30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.63.4.404"},{"key":"S0007125000248435_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.182.6.509"},{"key":"S0007125000248435_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(07)60368-7"},{"key":"S0007125000248435_ref32","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02731734"},{"key":"S0007125000248435_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0376-8716(94)01069-W"},{"key":"S0007125000248435_ref42","volume-title":"Mental Health of Children and Young People in Great Britain, 2004.","year":"2005"},{"key":"S0007125000248435_ref48","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/swr\/23.1.15"},{"key":"S0007125000248435_ref28","unstructured":"Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India.
