Abstract
⺠This study examines the correlation between community factors and psychosocial outcomes of persons with psychiatric disabilities. ⺠Community variables are only marginally correlated with well-being, including symptoms, quality of life, empowerment, and recovery. ⺠These associations are further reduced when considering individuals' sociodemographic characteristics. ⺠Individuals' sociodemographic characteristics explain a higher percentage of variability in well-being and recovery than community factors in this sample.
