A psychiatric center in Brooklyn provided a socialization program in a community residence for adults discharged from state hospitals and made a study of the program's outcome. Residents on two floors of the home, the experimental group, received an enriched treatment program; those on the other four floors, the control group, received a minimum of therapeutic intervention. A comparison of residents' ratings on assessment scales made early in the program and after seven months of operation showed that residents on all floors improved on measures of socialization, men improved more than women, and residents over 65 years of age improved the least. Residents in the experimental group did not improve much more than those in the control group. Costs for the experimental group, including room and board, were $16.59 a day per resident. Costs for the control group were $15.61 a day per resident.
布鲁克林的一家精神病中心为从州立医院出院的成年人在社区住所提供了一个社交项目，并对该项目的成果进行了研究。住所两层楼的居民为实验组，接受强化治疗项目；另外四层楼的居民为对照组，接受最少的治疗干预。对项目初期和运营七个月后的评估量表上居民的评分进行比较发现，所有楼层的居民在社交化指标上都有改善，男性改善比女性多，65岁以上的居民改善最少。实验组的居民改善幅度并不比对照组大很多。实验组的费用，包括食宿，为每位居民每天16.59美元。对照组的费用为每位居民每天15.61美元。
