Cross-cultural psychiatric epidemiology research in Asia was initiated due to high US study costs. Recent findings compare psychiatric disorder prevalence among Chinese in Los Angeles using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview.

Area of Science:

  • Cross-cultural psychiatric epidemiology
  • Mental health research

Background:

  • The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) funded the Epidemiological Catchment Area Studies in the USA.
  • Initiated cross-cultural psychiatric epidemiology research in Asia, including studies in Peru, Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
  • High costs of epidemiological studies in the USA prompted research in Asian countries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To foster psychiatric research in Lima, Peru, through an epidemiological study.
  • To conduct psychiatric epidemiological studies in various Asian countries, including Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan.
  • To compare the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among Chinese in Los Angeles with national data.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a two-phase epidemiological study in Lima, Peru, with Drs Shunichiro Hayashi, Kimpei Minobe, and Alberto Perales.
