Honestly, I was pretty confident that if it *was* a reliable stat, I would've seen you guys referring to it at some point. With a cited source!
Found some mentions of an older study that I'm pretty sure is Dissociative Experiences in the General Population: A Factor Analysis (Ross et al, 1991), but the abstract doesn't make it sound like "rate of people with DID(/MPD) in a given population" was actually what they were measuring. There's definitely no percentages in the abstract, and I couldn't find the full text online.
If you dig up anything, it would at least be interesting to see how their sample/methodology compares to the 2007 study!
(At least "rate of DID in a given population" is something I can see how to measure. I don't know how you'd even set up a study to determine "these early-childhood experiences are 100% universal for every single patient with...this condition that features heavy early-childhood amnesia.")
