A follow-up study of the first 70 admissions to a general purpose adolescent unit. The adolescentS and their families were given individual interviews. The outcome, which was assessed on the basis of these interviews, included psychiatric symptomatology and three basic areas of functioning: social, sexual and work adjustments. A global rating of the general level of function, relative to normality, was given for each adolescent. One third of the adolescents were functioning at a high level, one third were functioning at a moderate level and one third were severely handicapped in the most essential areas of functioning. The study group appeared to be disadvantaged socially and in the work situation. Results suggested that the optimum length of stay was 5-25 weeks. The nature of discharge was important: those adolescents who completed treatment were more likely to have a better outcome than those discharged prematurely.
对一家综合性青少年病房首批收治的70名患者进行的随访研究。对青少年及其家庭进行了个别访谈。基于这些访谈评估的结果包括精神症状学以及三个基本功能领域：社交、性和工作适应。为每个青少年给出了相对于正常水平的总体功能水平的综合评分。三分之一的青少年功能水平较高，三分之一处于中等水平，三分之一在最基本的功能领域存在严重障碍。研究组在社交和工作方面似乎处于不利地位。结果表明，最佳住院时长为5至25周。出院的性质很重要：完成治疗的青少年比过早出院的青少年更有可能获得更好的结果。
