Prevalence of Schizophrenia
in Urban Regions (2008)
A
comparative systematic review of worldwide-published research comparing
the
incidences of psychoses in urban and rural geographical regions is
crucial in
determining a major contributor to an illness that affects many people
throughout the world. This comparative systematic review collates
current
existing studies from 2001–2006. Many
scholarly narrative reviews regarding the prevalence of psychoses have
been
published in recent years.
The large
amount of data available on this topic requires a systematic approach.
The
systematic approach examines and evaluates the quality and
effectiveness of
studies as a whole, instead of the more singular traditional reviews. This
will provide healthcare practitioners
quality information that is effective and crucial in speaking the
patient’s
language, understanding their culture and perception, which leads to
providing
the best treatment for their patients Therefore,
this review of existing current studies dated between the years
2001 – 2006 was conducted in order to;
- Examine the causes, risks, and
contributing
factors
of psychoses
- Examine
the prevalence rates of psychosis in urban regions versus rural regions
- Evaluate
the methodological quality of the included systematic reviews
