Housing environments and community adjustment of severely mentally ill persons
Abstract
This study examined relationships between the quality and appropriateness of housing environments and community adjustment of 729 deinstitutionalized severely mentally ill clients in a state-wide community support service program. Environmental measures included ratings of the physical condition of the client's residence, its adequacy for six key life activities, and the overall appropriateness of the residential setting for the client. Community adjustment measures included global level of functioning, degree of maladaptive behavior and client's perceived quality of life. Evidence is presented that quality and appropriateness of housing environments significantly affect aspects of client's community adjustment outcomes over a nine-month period.

Access to housing may contribute in a significant way to a number of individual mental health outcomes.
“While research has shown that access to housing may contribute in a significant way to a number of individual mental health outcomes (Baker and Douglas, 1990; Hanrahan et al., 2001; Nagy, Fisher and Tessler, 1998; Earls and Nelson, 1988), there is need to understand how housing policies shape specific built environments, which in turn impact women at risk for poor mental health outcomes and subst”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
