A study of a publicly funded mental health system determined that the use of aftercare services by discharged patients had the effect of extending community tenure. Patients' clinical characteristics, particularly number of previous hospitalizations, had only minimal effect and patients' demographic characteristics had essentially no impact on community tenure. Increasing the variety and intensity of rehabilitation-oriented types of service rather than increasing the frequency of supportive contacts through individual therapy and case management appears to hold the greatest promise for extending community tenure.
一项对公共资助的心理健康系统的研究表明，出院患者使用后续护理服务具有延长社区居住时间的效果。患者的临床特征，尤其是既往住院次数，影响甚微，而患者的人口统计学特征对社区居住时间基本没有影响。增加以康复为导向的服务种类和强度，而非通过个体治疗和病例管理增加支持性接触的频率，似乎对延长社区居住时间最具前景。
