Data was obtained from 323 of the 419 subjects who returned to their community; leaving 22.9% with missing data. The first sampling point had an inadequate follow-up rate. By reviewing the successful actions of other researchers in this field1 improvements were made as follows: (1) Staff were trained to use a simple enrollment form to collect multiple phone and email contact information from the client as well as multiple collateral phone and address contact data; (2) All contact information was verified and updated at discharge and, (3) A written checklist was implemented to organize each step of the follow-up process.
