title: Demographic predictors of the use of injectable versus oral antipsychotic medications in outpatients.
abstract: The authors examined the records of 397 outpatients maintained on antipsychotic medication to identify demographic characteristics that predicted use of depot medication. Patients maintained on long-acting antipsychotics tended to be young, male, and black. The age effect was largely restricted to white patients.
