Effect of the introduction of mental health services into a comprehensive prepaid medical care facility was studied. The subjects were two independent subsamples of all individuals seen in the mental health service for the first time in 1967, and two comparison groups not seen in the mental health service. Data consisted of medical visits from 1962 through 1969 and mental health visits from 1967 through 1969. Insufficient support was found for the assertion that mental health services produce savings of medical care. Some of the complex interactions between care for somatic and mental health treatment variables, and points for future study are noted.
研究了将心理健康服务引入综合预付费医疗设施的效果。研究对象是1967年首次在心理健康服务机构就诊的所有个体的两个独立子样本，以及未在心理健康服务机构就诊的两个对照组。数据包括1962年至1969年的医疗就诊记录以及1967年至1969年的心理健康就诊记录。关于心理健康服务能节省医疗费用这一断言，未找到充分支持。文中指出了躯体健康护理与心理健康治疗变量之间的一些复杂相互作用以及未来研究的要点。
