Abstract

A new community mental health service, the Mobile Assertive Care (MAC) team, offering intensive community based treatment for people with severe and persistent mental illnesses was evaluated twelve months after its commencement. Of the sixty-three clients referred within the first twelve months of operation, twelve-monthly outcome data was available for 54 clients at the time of this study. Results indicated clinically significant reductions in days spent in hospital, and statistically significant improvements in clinical and functional status.
