When Symptoms Matter More Than Charges
Police increasingly serve as first responders to behavioral health crises, making critical jail diversion decisions at the intersection of law enforcement and mental health systems. While charge severity typically predicts diversion outcomes, it remains unclear whether this relationship operates consistently across different clinical presentations. This study examined whether psychotic presentations moderate the association between charge severit…
Contributing factors to beneficence and nonmaleficence in police-led jail diversion programs
OBJECTIVE: This study examined how outcomes in police-led jail diversion programs (JDPs) align with the ethical principles of beneficence and nonmaleficence, focusing on factors that influence diversion decisions and their balance between rehabilitation and public safety. HYPOTHESES: Individuals with less severe charges and first-time encounters are more likely to be diverted to mental health treatment, aligning with beneficence. Conversely, indi…
Police-led multidisciplinary teams in crisis response
Police departments increasingly encounter behavioral health crises, yet limited research examines how multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) address these situations. This qualitative case study explored MDTs involving law enforcement and behavioral health providers in crisis response. Twenty-four participants (12 from each field) engaged in focus groups. Data were analyzed using Yin’s case study methodology and Morse’s framework. Four themes emerged: (1…

No evidence for dietary protein and dietary salt as main factors of calcium excretion in healthy children and adolescents
Clostridium difficile, a non-aerobic spore former, is currently one of the most serious causes of nosocomial infections and antibiotic associated diarrhea (AAD). Due to the resilient nature of spores, its propagation can be difficult to control. Preventing infections through efficient and durable disinfection of hospitals’ facilities would result in diminished contaminations. This project was based on testing the efficacy of a new substance calle…
