这项研究考察了支持住房的两个前提：(A)消费者对住房和支持的选择/控制以及住房质量是精神病患者主观生活质量和适应社区生活的重要因素，以及(B)公寓为心理健康消费者提供了比集体生活安排更多的对住房和支持的选择/控制。为了验证这两个假设，我们收集了加拿大安大略省一项政府倡议下精神疾病患者的数据。共有130名参与者完成了基线访谈，其中91名参与者也在9个月后完成了后续访谈。这两个假说都得到了支持。这些结果是从支持住房的范例、先前的研究以及对社区精神卫生部门的住房政策和项目发展的影响来讨论的。
This research examined two premises of supported housing: (a) that consumer choice/control over housing and support and the quality of housing are important contributors to the subjective quality of life and adaptation to community living of people with mental illness, and (b) that apartments provide mental health consumers with more choice/control over housing and support than group living arrangements. To test these two hypotheses, we collected data from participants with mental illness housed through a government initiative in Ontario, Canada. A total of 130 participants completed a baseline interview, and 91 of those participants also completed a follow-up interview 9-months later. Support was found for both hypotheses. The results were discussed in terms of the paradigm of supported housing, previous research, and implications for housing policy and program development in the community mental health sector.
