| Title | [Schizophrenia in primary health care centers: the SASPE study (alert signs and prodromic symptoms of schizophrenia in primary health care)]. |
| Abstract | To contribute to the knowledge of the alert signs and precursors of the schizophrenia, just as they can appear in the childhood, and of the prodromic signs other ages. Five descriptive studies: three retrospective, one transversal and one longitudinal study, based in the revision of clinical histories of an Community Mental Health Unit closely linked with the APS, additional revisions of the clinical histories of Family Doctors and Peadiatrics of Primary Care, and structured interviews with patients, patient's offspring, and PHC professionals. Two prospective studies: one, with schizophrenic's children; other, of children with alert signs detected in the first childhood. LOCATION OF THE PROJECT: USM-MHU of Sant Martí-La MINA, 5 Sanitary Basic Areas of Barcelona and Sant Adriá (Barcelona), besides the Functional Unit of Attention to the First Childhood of Sant Martí (Barcelona). schizophrenic patients and relatives detected by the USM-MHU. schizophrenic patients and relatives not detected by the USM. MHU-USM assistance staff and assistance staff of 5 ABS and of the Functional Unit of Attention to the First Childhood (UFAPI). Children with alert signs detected in the UFAPI and children with alert signs or risk factors detected in the EAP and in the Pediatric Teams of PC. METHODOLOGY AND INSTRUMENTS: Diagnoses DSM-IV. Structured interviews SCAN and IRAOS. Scales of positive and negative symptoms. Scales or screenings for the first childhood: ARBB, CBCL, and LISMEP. Structured interviews to determine precursory and prodromic signs: FETZ (Colony), ERIE-IRAOS (Hamburg-Barcelona), ERIE-red (reduced version of the IRAOS, adapted by the investigating team). |

| Title | Neighborhood differences in psychoses: prevalence of psychotic disorders in two socially-differentiated metropolitan areas of Barcelona. |
| Abstract | The prevalence of schizophrenia and other psychoses can vary between close geographic locations and can be biased by the use of epidemiological designs. With data derived from a public mental health centre with close relations to primary care teams we have compared the distribution of psychotic disorders in two neighborhoods in Barcelona with marked psycho-social differences. Using a computerized database from Barcelona's National Health Service covering 5 basic health-care areas with a total population of 103,615 inhabitants, we have accessed case records showing any psycho-pathology between the years of 1982 and 2000. From the case records of 21,536 registered patients showing any psycho-pathology, and using strict diagnostic, clinical and assistance criteria, we found that there were 476 patients diagnosed as "schizophrenic" and 362 that were "affected by other psychoses." Despite being evaluated by the same mental health personal, the same research team using identical criteria and over the same period of time (thus precluding operator and selection bias) the prevalence of these disorders was twice as high in La MINA (a district with a marked accumulation of psycho-social risk-factors) as compared to the neighboring district of La Verneda. When assessing prevalence of psychoses, it is necessary to consider the impact of social and psycho-social factors, even in neighboring communities. |
