A Descriptive Study Of Commitment Practices In A Selected Jurisdiction, Louis A. Pesnicak
Community & Environmental Health Theses & Dissertations

The study investigated: the concordance rates of clinical recommendation for treatment and the outcome of the commitment hearing. the time lapse between detention of an individual and the hearing outcome. the presenting symptomatology and outcome. and the pre-detention compliance to treatment and outcome. The study's findings showed a concordance rate of 64% between clinical recommendation and outcome.
