We examined individual and group characteristics associated with the duration of community involvement (i.e., length of residence) in 11 Illinois Oxford Houses for 129 male recovering addicts. Survival analyses indicated that the best predictor of duration of community involvement from demographic items was age (i.e., older age and older age of fellow residents were associated with being more likely to continue residence). Among psychological measures, the best survival predictor was lack of pessimism of the future. Although the relationship between longer length of residence and treatment outcomes are complex, because it is often difficult to keep people involved in treatment programs, knowledge that we can gain about those factors that might lead to greater lengths of stay are of importance.
我们研究了伊利诺伊州11所牛津之家的129名男性康复成瘾者中与社区参与时长（即居住时长）相关的个人和群体特征。生存分析表明，从人口统计学项目来看，社区参与时长的最佳预测指标是年龄（即年龄较大以及同住者年龄较大与更有可能继续居住相关）。在心理测量指标中，最佳生存预测指标是对未来不悲观。尽管居住时长与治疗结果之间的关系很复杂，因为让人们持续参与治疗项目往往很困难，但我们能够了解到的那些可能导致更长停留时间的因素非常重要。
