Length Of Hospitalization

120 patients were given the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) prior to placement in family care and in board and care homes. After 1 yr., 20 patients had been rehospitalized. Another group of 20 patients was randomly selected from those who had not been rehospitalized during the year. The 2 groups were compared on various MMPI scales and with respect to age, sex, length of hospitalization, and type of placement to which they were sent. Type of placement was a significant factor in length of patient community residence.
