Predictors of Engagement in Community-based Residential Mental Health Rehabilitation: Modelling of a cross-sectional Statewide Benchmarking Dataset from Queensland, Australia.

ABSTRACT: Engaging residents with the support available at community-based residential mental health rehabilitation facilities is an ongoing challenge for health services. This study explored factors associated with residential rehabilitation engagement across Queensland, Australia through regression modelling of cross-sectional data from a statewide benchmarking activity completed in 2023 (n = 208). The Residential Rehabilitation Engagement Scale (RRES) assessed each resident's rehabilitation engagement. A broad range of potential predictors were considered, including resident and unit-level variables. Only 45.2% of residents had an average RRES score consistent with being engaged with rehabilitation support usually or always. Higher levels of rehabilitation engagement were significantly associated
