Effects of non-specific factors on clinical outcome in hospitalized psychiatric patients. We are assessing the effects of various non-specific factors on clinical outcome in psychiatric patients. Our first project is an examination of the effects of institutional changes and staffing reductions on objective indices of clinical outcome in psychiatric inpatients. Subsequently, we plan to examine the effect of patient involvement in research protocols on clinical outcome, to be followed by investigations of other non-specific factors.
