    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Psychiatric Epidemiology
    • Health Economics

    Background:

    • Accurate prediction of psychiatric facility utilization is crucial for resource allocation.
    • Traditional utilization surveys are resource-intensive and time-consuming.
    • Understanding the relationship between social indicators and mental health service demand is vital.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a parsimonious model for predicting regional psychiatric facility utilization.
    • To demonstrate the utility of census data for healthcare planning.
    • To establish the stability of the relationship between social indicators and psychiatric service demand over time.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a predictive model using readily available census data.
    • Analysis of the correlation between social indicators and historical utilization rates.
    • Validation of the model's predictive accuracy.

    Main Results:

    • A simple, data-efficient model for predicting psychiatric facility utilization was developed.
    • The model effectively utilizes census data, reducing the need for extensive surveys.
    • Key social indicators demonstrated a stable relationship with utilization rates over time.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed model offers a cost-effective method for forecasting psychiatric service needs.
    • Social indicators can serve as reliable proxies for psychiatric morbidity, enabling long-term planning.
    • Further research is warranted to refine and validate the model across diverse populations and regions.
