Abstract
Research was conducted solely via an examination of hospital records. Patient characteristics were related to the level of services provided, i.e., admission, referral, etc. Services delivered were generally appropriate to the needs of the patients. There appeared to be a lack of early intervention services for patients who did not exhibit acute distress. Possible means of enhancing these services were discussed.
