The Family Mosaic Project of San Francisco, CA, administered the study through the Family Satisfaction Survey.

Predictors of length of stay among youths hospitalized in state hospitals in Illinois

Article Abstract:

Length of psychiatric hospitalization among youths admitted in state hospitals varies. A univariate analysis indicates that age of the individual is the strongest predictor of length of stay which may be attributed to the long term mental health outcomes of children and adolescents. Young, male, African American and psychotic individuals are the stereotyped chronic patients in many state hospital systems.
