In China, Higher Employment for People With a Schizophrenia Diagnosis Living in Rural Areas

Researchers in China find that people with a schizophrenia diagnosis were more than three times more likely to be employed if living in a rural vs. an urban environment.

The study, consisting of a large community-based sample representing 12% of China’s population, appeared online in the British Journal of Psychiatry on December 20, 2012.
