Abstract

Outpatient commitment is examined in order to determine what types of civil commitment respondents are ordered to outpatient treatment. The sample consisted of 1226 adult civil commitment respondents having initial hearings in North Carolina. Respondents placed on outpatient commitment are compared with respondents who were released and respondents who were committed to the hospital. Respondents ordered to outpatient commitment are significantly more likely to be of the chronic, revolving door population of mental patients. Potential problems in evaluating the success of outpatient commitment are discussed.

摘要

对门诊治疗强制令进行研究，以确定被强制要求接受门诊治疗的民事强制令受调查者属于何种类型。样本包括在北卡罗来纳州进行初次听证会的1226名成年民事强制令受调查者。将被安排接受门诊治疗强制令的受调查者与被释放的受调查者以及被送往医院的受调查者进行比较。被强制要求接受门诊治疗的受调查者更有可能是患有慢性疾病、反复入院的精神病人群体。文中还讨论了评估门诊治疗强制令成效时可能存在的问题。
