The Multnomah Community Ability Scale is a 17 item instrument that case managers can use to rate levels of functioning for clients with severe mental illness. Prior work in a large urban community mental health center showed that the instrument predicted subsequent involuntary hospitalization. The current project involved some 2,487 clients of community mental health programs throughout Oregon. This replication study again showed that low scores on the instrument predicted subsequent psychiatric hospitalization.
马尔特诺马社区能力量表是一种包含17个条目的工具，个案管理员可使用该量表对患有严重精神疾病的客户的功能水平进行评分。此前在一个大型城市社区心理健康中心开展的工作表明，该工具能够预测随后的非自愿住院情况。当前项目涉及俄勒冈州各地社区心理健康项目的约2487名客户。这项重复研究再次表明，该量表得分较低预示着随后会发生精神病住院情况。
