Do psyhiatric out-patients take their drugs?
Open accessAbstract
It is common clinical experience that there are patients who do not take the drugs prescribed for them. Less is known of the frequency with which this occurs, but a number of studies have indicated that the failure rate may be surprisingly high?up to 50% (Benstead and Theobald, 1952 ; Haler, 1952 ; Mohler et al, 1955 ; Simpson, 1956 ; Dixon et al., 1957 ; Luntz and Austin, 1960). The present study was undertaken to determine the propor tion of psychiatric out-patients who do not take their drugs, and to examine some factors possibly associated with this.

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.
