“…Prevalence estimates range from 15% to as high as 75% (Kicklighter, 2001). Reports over the last 30 years regarding first session nonattendance in community mental health centers and other outpatient clinics consistently report non-engagement rates approximating one-third to one-half of all intakes (Evans, 1999;Festinger, Lamb, Kountz, Kirby, & Marlowe, 1995;Hochstadt & Trybula, 1980;Raynes & Warren, 1971). Although intake procedures vary from clinic to clinic, for the purpose of this study, an intake is broadly defined as the process in which a potential client contacts a provider for therapy and sets an initial appointment.…”

“…Aunque algunos de los resultados son contradictorios, la mayor parte de los estudios no suele encontrar diferencias entre los ausentes y los que sí acuden a la consulta en las variables sociodemográficas salvo en la edad (1,(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Las características clínicas de los ausentes en las primeras citas corresponden a pacientes drogodependientes (3)(4)(5)(6) o aquellos que presentan quejas vagas y poco específicas (6,9) y suelen estar menos de acuerdo con la derivación que aquellos que, en contraste, acuden a petición propia y no suelen faltar (1,7).…”

“…La característica más consistente que se repite en gran parte de los estudios es la edad, los pacientes más jóvenes son menos propensos que los más mayores a acudir a la primera cita (1,(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Nuestro trabajo corrobora este aspecto y la explicación al mismo tal vez pueda deberse a las obligaciones laborales de la población, ya que las ausencias disminuyen mucho a partir de los 50 años de edad media y este efecto es muy marcado a partir de los 65 cuando la población ya está jubilada.…”
