Abstract: (1261 Views)
Introduction: Epidemiological studies describe different prevalence of childhood psychiatric disorders. The prevalence varies 7% to 26% worldwide. The current study aimed at investigating the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents of North Khorasan Province, Iran.
Methods: In the current cross sectional study, a total of 1010 children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years were enrolled using multistage cluster sampling method. The participants were selected from urban and rural areas of Bojnurd city. Psychiatric disorders were diagnosed by clinical psychologists through interviews with parents and children. The Persian version of Kiddie-SADS- present and lifetime version (K-SADSPL) was used to collect data.
Results: The results of the current study showed that the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among children and adolescents was 16.3% and the prevalence of each disorder including mood, psychosis, anxiety, developmental neurodegenerative, behavioral, substance abuse, and other disorders were 0.6%, 1%, 14.2%, 7.9%, 4.3%, 0.7%, and 6.6%, respectively.
Conclusions: The results of the study showed that the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among children and adolescents in North Khorasan Province is consistent with most of the studies conducted in this region, except mood, behavioral, and substance use disorders. These data require a more accurate evaluation and identification of the causes of such differences.
