Social functioning as an outcome variable in family interventions with schizophrenic patients has been a relatively neglected area. The requirements of a scale of social functioning to measure the efficacy of family interventions include: the measurement of skill/behaviour relevant to the impairments and the demography of this group; the ability to yield considerable information with an economy of clinical time; and the establishment of ‘comparative’ need through comparison between subscales and with appropriate reference groups. Results from three samples show that the Social Functioning Scale is reliable, valid, sensitive and responsive to change.

The National Lottery has been estimated as being played by 65% of the adult British population. This study investigated whether higher average weekly spending on the Lottery is associated with various health-related variables. Results from a survey of 482 British adults (mean age = 33.3 yr.), consisting of 107 students and 375 people in employment, indicated that those who spent more on the Lottery had significantly poorer social functioning (Social Functioning scale of the SF-36 Health Survey), higher weekly alcohol and cigarette consumption, and lower frequency of social support (Emotional and Social Interaction scales of the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey). By contrast, higher lottery spending was not associated with poorer general mental health (General Health Questionnaire). Manual workers spent over twice the weekly amount on the Lottery compared to nonmanual workers. Consumption of alcohol and cigarettes was lower than recently published UK norms. Results suggest that higher Lottery spending among the general adult population possibly may be linked specifically to restrictions in social activity. The association of Lottery spending with alcohol and cigarette use among a sample whose consumption was relatively low appears to require explanation within psychological theories of addiction. The over-all pattern of results is discussed in relation both to addiction theory and to the Lottery's widespread appeal and availability.

IntroductionDuration of untreated illness (DUI) has been considered as a relevant variable used to measure the degree of disabilities that are associated with psychotic disorders. In this paper we describe a cluster of patients with a DUI superior to 1 year according to their symptoms and sociofamiliar functioning.MethodsWe compare a group with a DUI superior to 1 year (n = 7) against a group with a DUI inferior to 1 year (n = 17).ResultsThe group with a DUI superior to 1 year showed an average age of 4 years younger (21) as the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) of 1 to 3 months in the 80% of cases and higher percentage of unemployed or without occupation. The 60% were derived from primary care, compared to the 17% of the other group. Although the consumption of toxic substances was similar in both groups, no toxic psychosis were found in comparison with the 35% present in the group with a DUI inferior to 1 year. PANSS’ profile scored more positive and less negative symptoms. Both have similar general psychopathology. There were group differences in the Social Functioning Scale (SFS) with lower scores in the superior to 1 year DUI, in the following scales: Prosocial, Autonomy, Execution and Employment. The Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) gives an average of almost 8 points higher.DiscussionWhile the SFS shows significant differences in several areas of social functioning, both PANSS’ profile and the family questionnaire do not support greater deterioration, as evidenced in the GAF's average score.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
