The Effects of a Paid-Work Program on Chronic and Short-Term Patients
Abstract
Available data about the effectiveness of sheltered paid-work programs for psychiatric patients are sometimes contradictory and generally unencouraging. The study reported here attempted to determine whether the responses of patients assigned to a paid-work program and to a control program would vary with length of previous hospitalization. The findings suggest that short-term patients should be given preference in assignment to paid-work programs.
