Abstract
The authors compared data on 2,860 residents gathered by means of questionnaire responses by residency directors with data on 288 residents found in an earlier similar survey to have emotional difficulties. They found that age, marital status, previous psychiatric treatment, substance abuse, and previous nonpsychiatric medical practice differentiated the "problem" residents from the total residency population surveyed. However, sex, ethnicity, foreigh medical graduation, and transfer from other residency programs did not differentiate the two groups.Keywords
