Three alternative methods for obtaining anticipated resource utilization information for comprehensive mental health centers are proposed. The methods differ on two dimensions, sample selection and statistical technique. Using an admission cohort rather than a discharge cohort and eliminating patients who terminated treatment against medical advice permitted a refined prediction. Although no significant differences were found between the chi-square and multiple-regression techniques, the latter resulted in a substantially greater degree of flexibility.
本文提出了三种获取综合心理健康中心预期资源利用信息的替代方法。这些方法在两个维度上存在差异，即样本选择和统计技术。使用入院队列而非出院队列，并排除违反医嘱终止治疗的患者，能够实现更精确的预测。尽管卡方检验和多元回归技术之间未发现显著差异，但后者具有更大程度的灵活性。
