Abstract

Objective: Treatment attrition represents a considerable problem for efficient delivery of care for mental disorders. The present study examined rates and predictors of pretreatment attrition and dropout from outpatient treatment for anxiety disorders. Method: The influence of clinical, demographic, clinician and system variables on pretreatment attrition (treatment refusal or non‐attendance) and dropout were analysed in a consecutive sample of 731 clients treated at an anxiety disorders clinic in Sydney. Results: Pretreatment attrition was common (30.4%) but dropout once clients had commenced treatment was rare (10.3%). Milder pretreatment symptoms were associated with treatment dropout and comorbid depression or depressive symptoms were associated with higher probability of both pretreatment attrition and dropout. Demographic, clinician and system influences were present but less important. Conclusion: Targeting of individuals with comorbid anxiety and depression may reduce treatment attrition rates among individuals with anxiety disorders presenting for treatment.

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.
