Abstract
The prediction of community tenure after discharge of a group of state hospital patients was examined using a recently developed rating scale designed to assess patients' readiness for discharge and community living. Length of community stay was negatively correlated with a predischarge rating of belligerent behavior. Ratings of other dimensions of behavior often believed to be of considerable clinical importance did not relate to community tenure. The findings suggest that social factors are important in the readmission process.
