Predicting psychiatric symptoms in rural community mental health clients.
Using the Brief Symptom Inventory administered to 88 rural clients on Visit 1 and to 56 clients, 3 mo. later after Visit 3 with an evaluation of service, regression analyses suggested a 4-variable model, with fewer symptoms on Visit 1, higher income, lower anxiety, and younger age accounted for 70% of the total variance. Cross-validation is needed.
