16.  Loss of social support was associated with increased risk
for psychiatric disorders. This may be a target for
interventions.
 Identification of mechanisms underlying on the protective
effect of ethnic minority status may help to develop new
strategies.
 Early treatment is crucial, as failure to seek early
treatment often leads to a recurrent or chronic course.

18.  Prevalence of PG over time has increased, although
most accounted by adults. However, legal and social
changes may have more effect on non-risk population
than in at risk population: adolescents, college students,
psychiatric patients and prisoners.
 Screening among college aged students are encouraged
through in detection of early signs and risk factors.
