| Popis: | The authors evaluated the placement process in a large psychiatric facility with both inpatient and outpatient services. They examined 71 inpatient and 90 outpatient new admissions using standardized tests of psychopathology and sociodemographic status. After correcting for response bias, the authors found, in contrast to other studies, that the level of morbidity in the inpatient service was significantly different from that in the outpatient unit. The measures of sociodemographic data indicate that inpatients were more dependent on social support systems and that this finding was not influenced by response bias. |
