Schizophrenia Epidemiology Resources

Welcome to the web page of the Epidemiology Group. Over the last few years our group has completed several systematic reviews related to the epidemiology of schizophrenia. On this site, we have included links to the original articles and also to related commentaries. The data sets used in the systematic reviews are also available for you to freely use. 

 

The original papers, the figures and the datasets are in the public domain. We strongly encourage researchers to use these data freely. The data sets are valuable resources for those interested in ‘data mining' to generate new hypotheses about the epidemiology of schizophrenia. If you use this material, we ask that you acknowledge the relevant paper under the standard conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution License.

 

Material for the two reviews (figures and tables, raw data) can be found by following the links. We have included several PowerPoint files outlining the results of the studies, and links to related web-based ‘Supercourses' that are good teaching resources. As we publish related commentaries and review, we will also include this on this web page.

We strongly encourage researchers to let us know if there are any mistakes or omissions in the original data. Please contact us if you have corrections or suggestions.
