Participants consisted of 60 clients with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia attending a partial hospitalization program. Of the 100 participants that enrolled in the program only 60 were retained in the program until the 90 day follow up assessment. The participants were administered the INDCOL at intake. Additionally, at intake they completed a demographic survey, and the K10, while their primary therapist rated them on the FARS depression, interpersonal and thought process scales and on the mGAF. Participants and therapists were coded as being matched or mismatched on culture, based on INDCOL scores, and on race, based on self-reported race on the demographic survey. Hierarchical multiple regressions were completed to determine if cultural matching better predicted changes in outcome scores beyond the influence of racial matching. The results indicated that cultural matching was unrelated to treatment outcomes, but that racial matching was related to increased depression and interpersonal challenges at follow-up. The study was limited due to a small effect size of changes in outcomes from intake to follow-up. The implications for the use of racial and cultural matching as a means of improving treatment outcomes were discussed. 2017 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1513168908905989 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1513168908905989 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
