The effect of gender on the long-term course and outcome of schizophrenia in rural Ethiopia: a population-based cohort

ConclusionIn this rural African setting, we found little evidence to support the global evidence indicating better course and outcome of schizophrenia in women. Our findings are suggestive of a gendered experience of schizophrenia which varies across contexts. Further investigation is needed due to the important implications for the development of new mental health services in low and middle-income country settings.
