A controlled study of transitional day care for non-chronically-ill patients.
1986
: The authors randomly assigned 79 inpatients with nonchronic schizophrenia or affective disorder to either an intensive experimental day program called "transitional treatment" or a control treatment--weekly clinically believed to require intensive posthospital treatment to make the transition to the community. Although initially there was a significantly higher dropout rate from the control condition, at the point of discharge from the two programs as well as at 6- and 12-month follow-up there was no difference in outcome. Direct costs for the transitional treatment, however, were much higher.
