AB  - BACKGROUND: The prevalence of personality disorders (PD) in the South African 
      population is largely unknown. Thus, we undertook to estimate prevalence, 
      demographic correlates, co-morbidity and treatment rates of DSM-IV PD among South 
      Africans. SAMPLING AND METHODS: A three-stage probability sample design was used. 
      Of the 4,433 interviews obtained, based on quality control criteria, 4,315 
      interviews were retained for analysis. All participants were screened for PD and 
      axis I disorders with the World Health Organisation Composite International 
      Diagnostic Interview. The multiple imputation method was then used to estimate 
      prevalence. RESULTS: The multiple imputation prevalence estimate in the total 
      sample was 6.8%. All three PD clusters were significantly co-morbid with each 
      other and with other axis I disorders. Male gender was the only significant 
      predictor of PD. Of note was the finding that less than one fifth of participants 
      with a possible PD diagnosis had received treatment for a mental health or 
      substance abuse problem in the previous 12 months. CONCLUSION: The high 
      co-morbidity of PD with axis I disorders in South Africa is consistent with 
      previous reports elsewhere. However, more research is indicated to determine the 
      reasons for the higher prevalence of cluster A disorders than of cluster B and C 
      disorders in this population.
