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 UK Data Archive (UKDA) holds data from all the surveys mentioned above apart from the 1993-1994/2000 supplementary samples of people with psychosis living in private households. Further details can be found on the Psychiatric Morbidity Surveys datasets page.

The Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey, 2007 (APMS 2007) is the third survey of psychiatric morbidity in adults living in private households. The main aim of the survey was to collect data on poor mental health among adults aged 16 and over living in private households in England.

The specific objectives of the survey were:

to estimate the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity according to diagnostic category in the adult household population of England. The survey included assessment of common mental disorders; psychosis; borderline and antisocial personality disorder; Asperger syndrome, substance misuse and dependency; and suicidal thoughts, attempts and self-harm
to screen for characteristics of eating disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and problem gambling
to examine trends in the psychiatric disorders that have been included in previous survey years (1993 and 2000)
to identify the nature and extent of social disadvantage associated with mental illness
to gauge the level and nature of service use in relation to mental health problems, with an emphasis on primary care
to collect data on key current and lifetime factors that might be associated with mental health problems, such as experience of stressful life events, abusive relationships, and work stress
to collect data on factors that might be protective against poor mental health, such as social support networks and neighbourhood cohesion

Further information can be found on the Information Centre for Health and Social Care survey web page.

For the second edition (April 2010), 30 variables covering Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have been added to the data file. The user guide, variable list and derived variable list in the documentation have been updated accordingly, and a separate research report on ASD added. Also, the 'cluster' variable ('STRATA - use (with area) to control for survey design (2)') has been replaced. At least two points in each cluster should now be available, to aid analysis.
