Stepwise regression of psychosocial problems on global impairment ratings.
Calculated the correlations between the severity ratings for 27 psychosocial problems and global impairment ratings of daily functioning for 109 men and 206 women admitted to the outpatient services of a community mental health center. Controlling for sex and total number of problems rated, a stepwise regression analysis indicated that global impairment estimates were related to problems that represented thought processes, affect, and role functioning. The severity ratings for the thought process problems contributed the most variance (14%) toward the explanation of the global impairment ratings.
