A study of a group of chronic mentally ill patients from an intensive community support program revealed that 53 percent of the subjects had undiagnosed medical problems and 36 percent had known medical problems requiring initiation of or a change in treatment. These high percentages may be explained by the severity of the subjects' psychiatric problems, the questionable quality of their past physical care, and the difficulties chronic patients have in appropriately seeking and using either physical or mental outpatient health care. The author asserts that community support programs must provide continuing assistance with physical health care and offers suggestions for better addressing the problem.
一项针对来自强化社区支持项目的一组慢性精神病患者的研究表明，53%的受试者存在未被诊断出的医疗问题，36%的受试者有已知的医疗问题，需要开始治疗或改变治疗方案。这些高比例可能是由于受试者精神问题的严重性、他们过去身体护理质量存疑以及慢性病患者在适当寻求和使用身体或精神门诊医疗服务方面存在困难。作者断言，社区支持项目必须在身体健康护理方面提供持续援助，并就更好地解决该问题提出了建议。
