Dolgin, Daniel L.; And Others

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v4 n3 p329-37 Sep 1982

Differences in problematic behavior of 50 Hispanic and 50 Anglo hospitalized inpatients of the Colorado State Hospital were assessed, using a list of 62 problem variables constructed from individual case records. Results indicated that socioeconomic conditions alone are insufficient in explaining the prevalence of mental illness within the Hispanic inpatient population. (NQA)
