Alternative to the hospital: a controlled study
Abstract
The authors describe the evaluation of a treatment model that makes use of the community to help mentally ill patients acquire necessary coping skills. This approach is based on the assumption that deficiency in coping skills and aggressive dependency are primarily responsible for high readmission rates to mental hospitals and that coping skills and autonomy are best learned in the community, where the patient will be needing and using them. The treatment model is evaluated by comparing it with progressive in-hospital treatment and follow-up care. The results suggest that the model described can successfully treat patients with a high level of symptomatology in the community rather than in the mental hospital.

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.
