Deskripsi
A prevalence survey was done to find out the conspicuous psychiatric morbidity (CPM) in two rapidly developing towns of western region by using Self – Rating Questionnaire (SRQ). Out of 894 people interviewed 773 were selected for analysis. The CPM point prevalence rate of 35.4 % was found. The high prevalence of CPM was most likely due to less stable social structure in the towns in transition.
