Sources: Published and unpublished inventory data from the
Survey and Analysis Branch, Division of State and Community Systems Development,
Center for Mental Health Services. Sums of percentages or rates for institution
types might not equal 100 percent or the overall rate because of rounding.
1 The population used in the calculation of these rates is the
January 1 civilian population of the United States for each year through
1998. The rates for 2000 are based on the decennial Census sample civilian
population. Data for 1969-92 are the summation of partial care and outpatient
care additions. The 1994 survey format was changed and partial care is now
included with outpatient, and together are called "less than 24-hour
care".
2 Some organizations were reclassified as a result
of changes in reporting procedures and definitions. For 1979-80, comparable
data were not available for certain organization types and data for either
an earlier or a later period were substituted. These factors influence the
comparability of 1980-98 data with those of earlier years.
3
Includes Department of Veterans Affairs (formerly Veterans Administration)
(VA) neuropsychiatric hospitals, VA general hospital psychiatric services,
and VA psychiatric outpatient clinics.
4 Includes freestanding
psychiatric outpatient clinics, partial care organizations, and multiservice
mental health organizations. Multiservice mental health organizations were
redefined in 1984. |
