County Characteristics and Admission to State Hospital for Treatment of Alcoholism and Psychiatric Disorders

Helmut Hoffmann

Abstract

Correlations between the utilization rate of alcohol and psychiatric treatment in a state hospital and characteristics of 20 Minnesota rural counties were provided. Alcoholics were affected by more characteristics than were psychiatric patients. Unemployment appeared more important than poverty. The distance to the hospital was negatively related to utilization of the hospital for males but not for females.
