The research literature does not establish with any consistency an integrated model of what type of patient functions best in what type of community setting. The findings do, however, identify the relationship of certain patient characteristics to re-hospitalization: number of prior hospitalizations, length of hospitalization and history of unemployment being positively related; educational level, occupational level, and race being unrelated; and sex, marital status, age, and diagnosis being inconsistently related. Also identified in the literature were those community programs that were found to be the most effective based on a review of four outcome measures including recidivism, symptomatology, social functioning, and employment.
研究文献并未一致地建立起一个关于何种类型的患者在何种类型的社区环境中功能最佳的综合模型。然而，研究结果确实确定了某些患者特征与再次住院之间的关系：既往住院次数、住院时长和失业史呈正相关；教育水平、职业水平和种族无关联；性别、婚姻状况、年龄和诊断结果则存在不一致的关联。文献中还根据对包括累犯率、症状学、社会功能和就业在内的四项结果指标的审查，确定了那些被认为最有效的社区项目。
