To obtain data on the effectiveness of the psychiatric halfway house and to update information about such facilities, 26 recent statistical reports were examined. Only two studies include control group comparisons. In addition to descriptive information, data are reported in terms of employment or school attendance and independent living as contrasted with rehospitalization. Results indicate that a median of approximately 80 per cent of halfway house residents adjusts to community living. Despite differences among halfway houses in resident selection, length of stay, rehabilitative criteria, and nature of follow-up, data suggest that rehospitalization rates are lower after residence in a halfway house. Some cautions are drawn regarding evaluative studies and potential attenuation of halfway house facilities to low-quality custodial care.
为获取有关精神病过渡性康复机构有效性的数据并更新此类机构的相关信息，研究人员查阅了26份近期的统计报告。只有两项研究包含对照组比较。除描述性信息外，还报告了就业或上学情况以及独立生活方面的数据，并与再次住院情况进行了对比。结果表明，过渡性康复机构中约80%的居民中位数能够适应社区生活。尽管不同过渡性康复机构在居民选择、住院时间、康复标准和随访性质等方面存在差异，但数据表明，入住过渡性康复机构后再次住院的比率较低。针对评估研究以及过渡性康复机构可能沦为低质量监护护理机构的情况，提出了一些注意事项。
