The effect of structure on attendance in a day-hospital program.
The effects of program structure on patient attendance rates within a day-hospital program were studied. It has been recognized that regular attendance at partial-hospitalization programs is necessary to facilitate improvement in patient skill deficits. In this study, three different program structures were offered in a 40-person day program. Significant differences in attendance rates were achieved.
