title: Hosts to adversity. II. Psychiatric sequelae.
abstract: This article examines the relationship between event rates, demographic and psychosocial factors and the onset of psychiatric disorder according to Research Diagnostic Criteria in the context of a longitudinal general population survey of women. Life events were classified according to ratings of their severity and dependence. Analyses revealed the extent to which case inception was associated with risk factor status, as determined from respondents when psychiatrically well, and the complex interrelationship between the factors according to powerful statistical modelling techniques.
