Supplemental Security Income and the sick role.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) has given the psychiatrically disabled a dependable source of income and helped make it possible for them to live outside state hospitals. The change to SSI has had an important effect on delabeling and decreasing the stigma of receiving Aid to the Disabled. However, the secondary gain inherent in SSI may interfere with social and vocational rehabilitation efforts. The authors present recommendations aimed at making the SSI system more conducive to social integration and rehabilitation.

A program for continuing care: implementation and outcome.

The authors used the records of the continuing-care program at a large public hospital in Los Angeles to determine the success of referrals for aftercare. A total of 552 patients discharged during an eight-month period were referred for continuing care; 418 of the patients kept their first appointment. Patients were most likely to keep their first appointment if it was set up for within three days of release from the hospital and if it was confirmed before discharge from the hospital. If an appointment could not be arranged within three days, a phone call to the patient improved the referral completion rate.
