Abstract

Data are given on the total demand for psychiatric service by the population of an island community where such service is promptly available, geographically accessible, and within the economic means of all. Without the existence of such circumstances, psychiatric patient counts are likely to be underestimates of the real demand. The data provided on admission rates by age, sex, and diagnosis may be useful in predicting the service demands of communities where new facilities are to be opened.
