Evaluation of a community treatment program for young adult schizophrenics.
To evaluate a program of intensive case management for young adult chronic schizophrenics released from a large urban state mental health facility, several interrupted time series analyses were conducted over an 18-month period on 64 patients. Findings indicate that the intensive, active, and reactive role of case managers contributes significantly to the effectiveness of an aftercare, community-based treatment program.
