title: Ethnicity and life quality of recently discharged inpatients with schizophrenia.
abstract: Three months after inpatient discharge, quality of life was examined in 259 individuals with schizophrenia. As in findings by Lehman, Rachuba, and Postrado (1995), Black participants reported a higher quality than Whites after controlling for gender, degree of psychopathology, functioning level, substance abuse, and baseline life quality. Implications are discussed.
