The Camberwell Community Survey: a summary of results.
The Camberwell Community Survey was carried out during 1978 and 1979 on a random sample of the population of Camberwell in south London. This is an inner city area with high deprivation indices. 800 members of the community and a random sample of 74 out-patients with affective symptoms were interviewed using the Present State Examination (PSE) and Life Events and Difficulties Schedule (LEDS) of Brown and Harris. The survey has resulted in many publications. The present paper summarises its aims, methods and results.
