Les Groupes Vulnerables En Sante Mentale: Etude D'Archives

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
April 1988

Résumé

Dans une perspective de prévention, it s'avére de plus en plus important et urgent pour les intervenants communautaires en santé mentale, d'identifier correctement les groupes les plus vulnérables. Une étude d'archives effectuée dans une clinique externe de la région de l'Abitibi-Temiscamingue permet d'identifier certaines populations à risque en santé mentale et certains facteurs environnementaux pouvant contribuer à perturber l'équilibre biopsychosocial des individus. Des comparaisons effectuées en d'autres régions ou d'autres pays indiquent que ces analyses sont en grande partie généralisables.

Abstract

Mental health workers involved in the implementation of prevention programs are increasingly seeking to identify groups most likely to developmental illness. A study based on file data from an out-patient clinic in the Abitibi-Temiseamingue area was used to identify populations at high risk for mental illness and the environmental factors which may contribute to the biopsychosocial impairments of some individuals. The conclusions of the survey are widely corroborated by other epidemiological surveys on both national and international levels.
