Studies have yet to examine whether the capacity of mental health systems might be adversely affected by the burdens of unrelated conditions such as HIV/AIDS. AIMS: To examine whether the magnitude of disease burden from communicable, perinatal, maternal and nutritional conditions - commonly referred to as Group 1 diseases - is inversely associated with mental health system capacity in LAMI countries. METHOD: Multiple regression analyses were undertaken using data from 117 LAMI countries included in the 2011 World Health Organization (WHO) Mental Health Atlas. Capacity was defined in terms of human resources and infrastructure. Regressions controlled for effects of political stability, government health expenditures, income inequality and neuropsychiatric disease burden. RESULTS: Higher Group 1 disease burden was associated with fewer psychiatrists, psychologists and nurses in the mental health sector, as well as reduced numbers of out-patient facilities and psychiatric beds in mental hospitals and general hospitals (t = -2.06 to -7.68, P&lt;0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Evidence suggests that mental health system capacity in LAMI countries may be adversely affected by the magnitude of their Group 1 disease burden.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23137730</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McBain, Ryan&lt;br/&gt;Salhi, Carmel&lt;br/&gt;Morris, Jodi E&lt;br/&gt;Salomon, Joshua A&lt;br/&gt;Betancourt, Theresa S&lt;br/&gt;eng&lt;br/&gt;England&lt;br/&gt;2012/11/10 06:00&lt;br/&gt;Br J Psychiatry. 2012 Dec;201(6):444-50. doi: 10.1192/bjp.bp.112.112318.
