- Title
Health service registry data in psychiatric epidemiology: challenges for definition and interpretation.
- Authors
Anderson, Kelly K.
- Abstract
The author reflects on the article "Changes in the diagnosed incidence of early onset schizophrenia over four decades," by N. Okkels and colleagues, which estimated early onset schizophrenia incidence in Denmark. She says that the study, using data from psychiatric services, revealed the reduced sex differential and age at first diagnosis. She also discusses the issues on the author's use of such data such as the changes in data availability and the interpretation of estimates and trends.
