[Sociodemographic and mental health risk factors: Global and local conditions according to the Survey results "mental health in the general population" in 18  international locations].

CONCLUSIONS: The impact of sociodemographic risk factors on mental health is confirmed regardless of World region. However, the implementation of action plans for the prevention of mental disorders requires a detailed understanding of people's needs in terms of the disorder's prevalence, nature and strength of risk factors, at regional and local levels. This observation provides incentives to develop this research axis in world francophone and Latin speaking areas. These epidemiological results can be refined thanks to the data collected in the MHGP surveys about each mental disorder and comorbid conditions, the recourse of populations to assistance or care, as well as results of the socio-anthropological axis.
