Characteristics of patients who failed to appear for their intake interviews at a community mental health center were contrasted with those who did follow through with their appointments. Findings suggest that characteristics associated with dropping out are likely to vary with patient groups. Show rates for adults who were seeking help for themselves were significantly related to parental status and the length of time from the day of scheduling an intake interview until that appointment. Patient-therapist gender matches were related to the probability of children showing for intake interviews.
未在社区心理健康中心参加初次访谈的患者特征与如约前来的患者特征形成了对比。研究结果表明，与退出相关的特征可能因患者群体而异。为自己寻求帮助的成年人的到场率与父母状况以及从安排初次访谈之日到该预约之日的时间长度显著相关。患者与治疗师的性别匹配与儿童前来参加初次访谈的概率有关。
