Abstract

A great need exists for information on the morbidity rates of diseases, especially of psychiatric disorders. The author describes a mathematically based model currently being used in the USSR in which physicians are required to register each patient. It is hoped that the system will provide extensive information about morbidity rates for psychiatric disorders and about the demographic characteristics of various population groups that will be useful in planning and administering psychiatric services.
