| Summary: | Extrusion rates to public mental hospitals were studied as a function of the makeup of six different religions and denominations in a general population, and the comparative admission rates for respective affiliations. Roman Catholics and Baptists evidenced significantly higher proportions in the admissions population, with Methodists and Lutherans found to be significantly lower in their proportions admitted. Minority status in an exploratory study was also found to be a factor in extrusion to public mental hospitals. Results are interpreted in considering religion as both a precipitative condition and as a community mental health resource. |
