在本研究中，116名致电门诊可卡因治疗诊所的客户被随机分配到同一天，1天，3天或7天后安排的摄入预约。与计划3天（41%）或7天（38%）后的受试者相比，计划1天后的受试者（72%）参加了他们的入组预约。比值比表明，约24小时后，他们最初的接触提供的摄入预约的主题是超过四倍的可能性，参加他们的摄入量为那些安排以后。这一加速接诊程序使诊所能够接触到更多需要服务的病人。(C)2001爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
In the present study, 116 clients calling an outpatient cocaine treatment clinic were randomly assigned to intake appointments scheduled either the same day, 1 day, 3 days, or 7 days later. Significantly more subjects scheduled I day later attended their intake appointments (72%), compared to those scheduled 3 days (41%) or 7 days (38%) later. Odds ratios indicate that subjects offered intake appointments approximately 24 h following their initial contact are more than four times as likely to attend their intakes as those scheduled later. This accelerated intake procedure allows clinics to reach more patients in need of services. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
