Abstract
Since deinstitutionalization has become a feature of many state and county mental health programs, suitable and effective measures are needed for evaluating the success of patients in adjusting to community life. This study attempted to identify the factors linked with satisfactory adjustment or return to the hospital and evaluated the usefulness of various measures of success in the community.Keywords
