Abstract
This project examined the relationship between three measures of psychiatric morbidity and the utilization of insured health services. The criteria used to define psychiatric morbidity were as follows: • Self-ratings on the Cornell Medical Index of a randomly selected sample of the population. • Medical care insurance diagnosis of psychiatric illness by the community's physicians. • Psychiatric diagnosis by a psychiatrist. In all instances psychiatric morbidity was related to ‘high utilization’ of insured services, using dollar expense as the criteria. The significance of this is discussed.
