[Family dysfunction as predisposing factor of mental disease. Does that relationship exist?].
OBJECTIVES: The purpose is to describe the relationship between family disfunction and mental disorder. The secondary objective is to know the prevalence and distribution of mental disorders in primary care attended population. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a primary care setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Random sample was selected over 280 subjects from consultant population. The variables (family function, family structure, social and economic conditions and mental disorders) were collected through interview. APGAR test and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview test were performed. RESULTS: 264 patients were finally included (64% women). Mean age was 45.6 years (SD 16.7). Mental disorders were detected in 87 patients (33%). The most prevalent disorders were generalized anxiety disorder, dysthymia and major depression, family disfunction was found in 32 patients (12.3%). Prevalence of mental disorders wasn't statistically different in the group with family disfunction. CONCLUSION: Mental disorders are a common problem between primary care attended population. There wasn't any association between family disfunction and mental disorders, because of the limitations in the APGAR test in detecting family disfunction.

[Social inequities in the use of primary care services: a long way to go].
OBJECTIVE: To describe the relation between the main variables related with social inequality and the utilization of primary care services. METHODS: Socio-demographic variables and the number of consultations were collected in a cross-sectional study. RESULTS: 264 subjects were interviewed. 66% of the population belonged to social classes IV and V. There was statistical signification between age and number of visits (p = 0.0014) and between number of visits and monoparental families (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Most of the attended population belonged to the low and middle socio-economic levels. The relationship between non-structured families and hyper-utilization and the relationship between age and hyper-utilization is confirmed.
