- Abstract
If both positive and negative dimensions of schizophrenia independently influence need for care, a higher estimate of the comorbidity between these dimensions is expected in clinical samples than would be the case if non-clinical cases were investigated (i.e. Berkson's bias). The present paper investigates whether positive and negative dimensions independently contribute to mental health care use in a general population sample.
