Abstract

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of self-reported chronic mental health problems (MHPs) and mental health service use and their determinants, among the Spanish population over 14 years of age. Methods: Data from the 1999 Spanish Survey on Disabilities, Deficiencies, and State of Health were used. The survey is a cross-sectional study based on a multi-stage stratified sample of all the non-institutionalized Spanish population aged over 14 years (n=59,101, 11% non-responders). Multivariate logistic regression analysis were used. Results: 10.7% of the Spanish population suffer from an MHP. The highest prevalences were found in women, divorced/separated persons, those with a lower level of education and income, and those suffering from a chronic somatic problem. The number of days of daily activity lost was 2-fold greater among those with an MHP than among those with a chronic somatic problem. Greater use of mental health services was associated with loss of daily activity, having a higher level of education, invalidity or disability. The probability of MHP being referred from primary to mental healthcare is reduced if somatic comorbidity is present. Conclusion: MHPs have a high prevalence and a significant repercussion on the patient’s life. An inverse relationship was found between certain risk factors for MHPs and the use of services, which suggests inequality. Problems of accessibility are identified.
