[High incidence of admissions for schizophrenia in Surinam patients in The Netherlands not caused by preferential immigration of (pre)schizophrenic patients].

OBJECTIVE: To answer the question whether positive selection of (pre)schizophrenic Surinams in Surinam before emigration to the Netherlands can explain the high admission rates for schizophrenia of Surinams in the Netherlands. DESIGN: Retrospective research. SETTING: 's Lands Psychiatrisch Ziekenhuis (National Psychiatric Hospital) Paramaribo, Surinam (LPZ). METHOD: The Netherlands Central Bureau of Statistics in Voorburg and the Central Registry Office in Paramaribo provided data on emigration to the Netherlands of the Surinam population and on remigration. Files of (pre)schizophrenic patients were selected from the records of LPZ. Subsequently, these patients were traced and their pattern of migration was studied. Using the chi 2 test the significance of observed differences was assessed. RESULTS: Surinam (pre)schizophrenic patients did not emigrate more frequently to the Netherlands (6.3%) compared with the Surinam population in general (9.6%) and they remigrated more frequently to Surinam than the Surinams in general. CONCLUSION: The positive selection hypothesis must be rejected.

Italy in the context of European migration.

"This article is divided into three sections. The first section analyses the transformation of Italy and other Southern European countries from nations of emigrants to nations of immigrants. In the second section, the volume and characteristics of immigration to Southern Europe are analysed in an attempt to point out, given the context of national characteristics, the similarities in the phenomenon of non-European migration. In the third section, an attempt is made to analyse the role played in the labour market by migrants from developing countries and to present evidence of the expansion of the underground Italian economy." Comments by R. Magni are included (pp. 113-4).
