Association between participation in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 study and use of psychiatric care services.

Aims In most population-based epidemiological follow-up studies the aim is not to intervene in the life of the participants. Although the idea is not to intervene, being a member of the longitudinal follow-up study and studies conducted during follow-up may affect the target population. A population-based study including mental health enquiries might reduce the unmet need for psychiatric treatment by motivating people to seek treatment for their psychiatric ill-health. We examined the use of psychiatric care services in the population born in the year 1966 in Northern Finland, of whom 96.3% are participants in the prospective Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC1966).
