A group of clubhouse users matched with similar patients (not clubhouse users) in a neighbouring area were compared in terms of quality of life (Lancashire Quality of Life Profile), service utilization and treatment costs over a two year period.

The clubhouse group achieved a reasonable employment status and good social relationships, and advantages in subjective well-being favoured the clubhouse group. Over two years the pattern of service utilization and costs also favoured the clubhouse group. When the two groups were disaggregated for employment status the group with least treatment utilization and lowest costs was the employed clubhouse group.
