Prediction of dropout from therapeutic community treatment for heroin addiction is of interest, given that premature termination is the norm. Previous literature indicted a negative association between elevation on various MMPI scales and dichotomized measures of retention, as well as other outcome indices. The present study examined the predictive relationship between pretreatment MMPI scores and a continuous measure of retention. Results indicated that the MMPI could significantly differentiate groups staying less than and more than 20 d in treatment, but had no power to predict to more precise ranges of retention.
鉴于过早终止治疗是常态，预测海洛因成瘾者在治疗社区治疗中的退出情况备受关注。以往文献表明，明尼苏达多相人格问卷（MMPI）各量表得分升高与二分法留存率测量以及其他结果指标之间存在负相关。本研究考察了治疗前MMPI得分与连续留存率测量之间的预测关系。结果表明，MMPI能够显著区分治疗时间少于20天和多于20天的组，但无法预测更精确的留存率范围。
