“…The groups we studied cannot claim to be represenative of the total youth population they derive from: obvious constraints include the requisites for admission of non-Kuwaitis to the government schools studied and the inability to investigate the paternal social class correlates of our findings. In Kuwait, social classes defined by standards of living are not consistently dependent on educational and occupational achievements (Kurtz, 1981).…”

Inter-generational Conflict and Psychiatric Symptoms

et al. 1986

Secondary school pupils and their parents were investigated using the scaled version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and by a questionnaire designed to study attitudes involved in inter-generational conflict in psychiatric patients. Parent-pupil and inter-parental conflict in answers to the attitude questionnaires were taken as measures of intergenerational and intra-generational conflicts respectively. The former significantly exceeded the latter. Parent-student conflict was higher when the students involved were females, Kuwaiti, or had less educated fathers. The tendency of the number of reported GHQ symptoms to be higher in members of families with higher inter-generational conflict did not reach statistical significance. There is an apparent discrepancy between this finding and the prominence of inter-generational conflict in clinical material.

Kuwait has, in recent years, achieved a marked improvement in the health status of its population, as measured by a variety of mortality and morbidity indicators. This can be attributed to the implementation of two sets of policies that impact upon health, namely the health and socio-economic development plans of the Kuwaiti government. This article seeks to outline these recent changes in mortality and morbidity levels, and traces out the key policies considered to be the major determinants for these changes. Data is presented on health status, and on patterns and trends of health services' utilization. These trends suggest strongly that, for Kuwait, the health goals set for the year 2000 are achievable.
