Psychotropic drug use with successful and unsuccessful community placed developmentally disabled groups

While psychotropic drug use data have been reported for public residential facilities (PRF) and community residential facilities (CRF), no data have been reported for individuals discharged from PRFs and CRFs, especially with respect to how such usage relates to successful and unsuccessful placement. This study reports psychotropic drug use at the time of PRF discharge, at CRFs for successful placements, upon PRF readmission for unsuccessful placements, and factors related to successful and unsuccessful CRF placements.
