The opinion and level of satisfaction of the users of three different mental health services are presented as a way of evaluating the outcome of institutional and community approaches to psychiatric services. The information was collected in the cities of Concepcion (Chile), Sheffield (England) and Trieste (Italy) interviewing a sample of the users of the psychiatric services using a questionnaire specifically designed to suit the study's aims.

The patients in Sheffield tended to support an eventual move towards a more community based service while the relatives appeared more interested in a general improvement of the traditional institutional facilities. In Trieste, patients as well as relatives are fully supportive of the community based services and reasonably aware of the difficulties. They want to improve things in the community. Finally, Chilean users show a considerable adherence to the more traditional and institutionalised ways of offering services and the levels of satisfaction were very high considering the conditions in which the help was delivered.
