Abstract
This analysis addresses the question of whether or not women and men display differential ability to live in commercial housing following psychiatric rehabilitation. A multivariate model predicting the independent living status of 650 mental health consumers 6 months following psychiatric rehabilitation was tested. Results revealed that significant gender differences favoring women disappeared when controlling for level of functioning, program tenure, support continuity, parental status, and community participation. Implications of these results for service delivery are discussed.
