The development and early findings of a computerized clinical database are presented. By incorporating both clinical and research needs, a comprehensive database of all adult admissions to inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services in a university setting are recorded. The research potential of the database is illustrated by comparisons of demographic information, psychiatric history, current symptomatology, and DSM-III-R diagnoses for inpatients, previously hospitalized outpatients and never hospitalized outpatients. Differences detected include age at evaluation, marital status, age at first psychiatric episode, level of symptomatology, and suicide attempts. Implications of the database for research planning are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
