1Department of Psychiatric Demography, Aarhus Psychiatric Hospital, Risskov, Denmark.
Abstract:
The present study is an analysis of the sociodemographic background of children and adolescents with OCD and child psychiatric control patients. The case records of 61 children and adolescents with OCD and of 117 control patients aged 8-17 years, admitted to a Danish child psychiatric hospital during a 17-year period, were analyzed with regard to sociodemographic data. The OCD patients differed in many ways from their controls, regarding problems at school and family background. Significantly more parents of OCD patients belonged to the highest social classes, and significantly fewer OCD patients came from broken homes. Parents of OCD patients had fewer admissions to psychiatric hospitals and fewer abuse problems than in the control groups.
