Abstract

We present data on the incidence of admissions for first episode psychosis in a region of southern Spain. All consecutive cases of admissions to the psychiatric hospitalization unit due to psychosis were selected. The incidence rates for first episode psychosis among immigrants and non-immigrants between two years were calculated. Incidence rate ratio of first episode of psychosis was higher in immigrants (IRR 5.95 95% CI 3.8-9.3 p<0.001) and also in individuals from Sub-Saharan Africa (IRR: 30.09 95% CI:16.2-55.8 p<0.001). The results reflect the risk that immigrants have a greater risk of being hospitalized than non-immigrants.
