The selection of patients for community reprovision during the first three years of an active closure programme at two large mental hospitals in the North East Thames Regional Health Authority was studied. It was found that a strong selection bias was operating: the patients selected were significantly younger, had spent less time in full-time psychiatric care, were less likely to have a diagnosis of schizophrenia, had larger social networks, and were more likely to want to leave hospital.
对泰晤士河北部地区卫生局下属两家大型精神病院在积极关闭计划的头三年中进行社区安置的患者选择情况进行了研究。结果发现存在强烈的选择偏差：被选中的患者明显更年轻，接受全日制精神病护理的时间更短，被诊断为精神分裂症的可能性更小，社交网络更大，并且更有可能想要出院。
