The Gender and Cross-Cultural Study Group is chaired by Kimberly Yonkers, M.D. The study group was convened to address gender, racial, and ethnic issues in mental disorders, including differences in symptoms, symptom severity, and course of illness. Its members have conducted thorough reviews of the literature and secondary analyses of international data sets to determine where possible differences exist and have advised work group members in addressing these differences, either in the text descriptions of the disorders or possibly in the diagnostic criteria themselves. The members of the Gender and Cross-Cultural Issues Study Group are listed below.
