    AbstractThe utilization of the psychiatric in-patient services was evaluated in the intervention district and compared with a selected control district. The number of admissions and in-patient days were similar before admission to the community psychiatric service. As a result of the intervention the number of admissions to hospital and the length of in-patient hospital stay decreased significantly, resulting in a reduction of total number of in-patient days by 47%. The findings of other recent studies follow the same pattern. The reduction in in-patient days was significant in the group of schizophrenic patients.
