Single and multiple correlates for premature termination and duration of treatment were examined for 13,450 clients seem in 17 community mental health facilities. Predictor variables included seven demographic characteristics of clients and five characteristics of service (type of personnel seeing clients, assignment to in- or outpatient programs, diagnosis rendered, assignment to therapy or diagnostic services, and assignment to individual therapy or other services. Results indicated that clients who are members of ethnic groups, who have low educational backgrounds, who are seen by paraprofessional staff, and who are assigned for diagnostic services quickly terminate at community mental health facilities.
对在17个社区精神卫生机构中接受治疗的13450名来访者，研究了治疗提前终止和治疗时长的单一及多个相关因素。预测变量包括来访者的7个人口统计学特征以及服务的5个特征（接待来访者的人员类型、分配到门诊或住院项目、做出的诊断、分配到治疗或诊断服务、分配到个体治疗或其他服务）。结果表明，属于少数族裔、教育背景低、由辅助专业人员接待以及被分配到诊断服务的来访者，在社区精神卫生机构中治疗终止得很快。
