Rimmerman, A.; And Others

International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v16 n1 p55-58 1993

Residents (n=617) with psychiatric disabilities, living in 3 adult homes, were studied over 24 months to determine changes that occurred in population served, modes of intervention, and outcome measures. Residents showed stability in their rehospitalization rate, symptomatology, and social integration. A token economy reduced symptomatology and increased daily living skills for a time. (JDD)
