In this research, we examined psychiatric consumer/survivors' quality of life using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Based on previous research and ecological/empowerment theory, we expected objective indicators of personal empowerment, social support (including negative network transactions), housing, and community integration to be related to consumer/survivors' perceptions of their subjective qudity of life. The results provided partial support for our model. Qualitative data tended to confirm the quantitative findings and they provided additional insights leading to a revised ecological/empowerment model of quality of life for psychiatric consumer/survivors.
