The present study compares the rates of mental disorder prevalence by means of a direct adjustment method applied in two populations with different socio-demographic characteristics. One, from a private-general hospital with prevalence rates ranging from 25.96% to 40.02% and the other from a health center with rates ranging from 43.1% to 59.1%. In both studies the methodology and the instruments used were similar. Ecological studies have shown that socio-demographic differences exert an important influence on the prevalence. That is the reason for applying a direct adjustment method of rates prevalence to correct the effect of differences from structural population. The results obtained after the rate adjustment reduced considerably such differences.
