The purpose of this study was to investigate factors identified at intake that may predict whether individuals will successfully complete a six-month, behaviorally-oriented rehabilitation program. ...Forty-eight persons with severe mental illness were assessed for psychiatric symptomatology, global level of functioning, and performance on social and independent living skills within two weeks of entry into a psychiatric rehabilitation program. Successful program completion was operationalized as attendance at the program for six months or more without psychiatric rehospitalization and linkage with a more advanced treatment program. Results suggest that participants with better social and independent living skills were more likely to successfully complete the program; psychiatric symptoms were not related to treatment success. These findings have implications for targeting psychiatric rehabilitation programs.
To solve the problem of under-utilization of food and beverage facilities, many clubs have attempted to increase the utilization through private parties and club functions. Sometimes such parties, ...even though attended or sponsored by members, are classified as nonmember or "outside" business because they do not meet the requirements for member business. As long as nonmember revenues exceed the direct costs attributable thereto, a portion of the club's overhead is absorbed and the club benefits financially from such business.
