The Resident-intruder Paradigm: A Standardized Test for Aggression, Violence and Social Stress
Published on: July 4, 2013
[Residents in supported housing and factors related to moving towards independent living]
Background:
Few data are available on predictors for the transition of individuals with mental illness to more independent forms of housing.
AIM: To analyse which variables predict the transition of individuals with severe mental illness from supported housing within the Dutch community housing programs (CHP) to more independent ways of living.
METHOD: Data of 1569 participants were analysed using Cox regression analysis.
RESULTS: Individuals with a personality disorder, current alcohol misuse or who received ambulant care prior to admission in CHP had the highest probability of moving to a more independent way of living. Individuals who received clinical care prior to admission in CHP, individuals with admission in Supported Housing, and individuals with a history of substance dependency had the highest probability of clinical relapse.
CONCLUSION: The predictors found in this study can be used as a starting point both for hypotheses for additional aetiological research and for guidelines covering specific interventions.
