Abstract
The authors conducted a study of people who call psychiatric clinics for help but fail to appear for appointments. Those with the most clearly defined reasons for seeking help tend to show up, while those with the vaguest reasons tend not to. The authors suggest that those who fail to follow through are possibly in greater need than those who do not. They recommend some simple clinic policy changes that can reduce the "no-show" problem.Abstract Teaser
