Abstract:

The Surveys of Psychiatric Morbidity in Great Britain aim to provide up-to-date information about the prevalence of psychiatric problems among people in Great Britain, as well as their associated social disabilities and use of services. The series started in 1993, and so far consists of the following surveys:

• OPCS Surveys of Psychiatric Morbidity: Private Household Survey, 1993 - this covered 10,000 adults aged 16 to 64 years living in private households
• a supplementary sample of 350 people aged 16 to 64 years with psychosis, living in private households, which was conducted in 1993-1994 and then repeated in 2000
• OPCS Surveys of Psychiatric Morbidity: Institutions Sample, 1994 - this covered 1,200 people aged 16 to 64 years living in institutions specifically catering for people with mental illness
• OPCS Survey of Psychiatric Morbidity among Homeless People, 1994 - this covered 1,100 homeless people aged 16 to 64 years living in hostels for the homeless or other such institutions. The sample also included people sleeping 'rough'
• ONS Survey of Psychiatric Morbidity among Prisoners in England and Wales, 1997
• Mental Health of Children and Adolescents in Great Britain, 1999
• Psychiatric Morbidity among Adults Living in Private Households, 2000 - this survey was a repeat of the 1993 private households survey
• Mental Health of Young People Looked After by Local Authorities in Great Britain, 2001-2002
• Mental Health of Children and Young People in Great Britain, 2004 - this was a repeat of the 1999 survey
• Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey, 2007 - this survey was a repeat of the 2000 private households survey. The Information Centre for Health and Social Care took over management of the survey in 2007

The Psychiatric Morbidity among Adults Living in Private Households, 2000 survey was designed to estimate the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity according to diagnostic category among the adult household population of Great Britain, examine the varying use of services and receipt of care in relation to mental disorder, identify the nature and extent of disability associated with mental disorder, establish key current and lifetime factors which may be associated with mental disorder, and provide information on changes in the prevalence of disorder and related factors between 1993 and 2000.
