在北卡罗来纳州对参与民事承诺听证会的精神病患者进行的一项全州研究中收集的数据被用来评估门诊承诺作为非自愿住院的一种限制性较低的替代方案的有效性。在承诺听证会六个月后，承诺接受门诊治疗的患者的结果数据与出院患者和非自愿住院患者的结果数据进行了比较。这三组患者都患有慢性精神疾病，以前曾住院，并有拒绝服药和危险的病史。致力于门诊治疗的患者明显比其他两种倾向的患者更有可能利用后续护理服务并继续治疗。
Data collected in a statewide study of psychiatric patients involved in civil commitment hearings in North Carolina were used to evaluate the effectiveness of outpatient commitment as a less restrictive alternative to involuntary hospitalization. Six months after the commitment hearings, outcome data for patients who were committed to outpatient treatment were compared with outcome data for patients who were released and patients who were involuntarily hospitalized. All three groups comprised patients who were chronically mentally ill, had previously been hospitalized, and had histories of medication refusal and dangerousness. Patients who were committed to outpatient treatment were significantly more likely than patients with the other two dispositions to utilize aftercare services and to continue in treatment.
