Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial[Community psychiatric treatment and needs of admission of psychiatric patients. A controlled study 5 years after introduction of a community psychiatric center].
The 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. ⋯ The findings of other recent studies follow the same pattern. The reduction in in-patient days was significant in the group of schizophrenic patients.
