LASCORZ, David et al. Relational study of support needs according to life services used. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2022, vol.42, n.142, pp.17-27.  Epub 20-Feb-2023. ISSN 2340-2733.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0211-57352022000200002.

This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the relationship existing between the degree of care required by users of different mental health services and the services provided in the place they are using. The study was performed on a 388-person sample. The variables studied included diagnosis, age, sex, economic circumstances, and the ENAR-CPB scale. In all resources, the percentage of men with support outnumbered that of women. On the other hand, young people were found to mostly be living in supportive housing. The majority in all resources suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, especially in long-term care facilities. Clients with severe depression generally lived in their own homes, while those with borderline personality disorder were mainly attended in supportive housing. The residences clients were more dependent than those living whether in supportive housing or in their own home. It is important to relate the housing resource to a person's real capabilities and needs as much as possible; however, it is economic capacity what determines whether a person lives in a supportive housing unit or in their own home.
