Applying an Integrated Indigenist Ecological Systems Model to Research on Justice-Involved Indigenous Youth in Canada
Indigenous youth in Canada face disproportionately high rates of criminal justice involvement, rooted in colonial history. This paper uses the Integrated Indigenist Ecological Systems Model (IIESM) for a scoping review of literature on Indigenous youth justice involvement. By mapping studies onto the IIESM framework, this review identifies gaps and provides insights into often-overlooked socio-ecological and historical contexts. Findings show mos…
Prevalence of Current Clinical Leverage and Association with Perceived Coercion in Outpatient and Community Psychiatric Settings
Violence risk prediction in mental health inpatient settings using the Dynamic Appraisal of Situational Aggression
Higher DASA scores are associated with higher risk of violent incidents in both forensic and non-forensic inpatient psychiatric units. The proposed violence risk groups help rule out patients at low risk of violence and may help identify patients who would most benefit from interventions to reduce violence
Clinical and public safety risks associated with cannabis legalization and frequency of cannabis use among forensic mental health patients
Cannabis use among those with SMI is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Results from this study suggest that the mental health burdens associated with cannabis use have risen in terms of delayed clinical recovery and progress through the forensic system since legalization
Risk, resilience, and recovery in forensic mental health
In this paper we describe a novel, integrated conceptual model that brings together core elements across structured tools assessing risk for future violence, protective factors, and progress in treatment and recovery in forensic mental health settings. We argue that the value of such a model lies in its ability to improve clinical efficiencies and streamline assessment protocols, facilitate meaningful participation of patients in assessment and t…
Walking Alongside
Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) was introduced into Canadian federal legislation in 2016. Mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition (MI-SUMC) is currently excluded from eligibility; such exclusion is scheduled to expire on March 17, 2024. Irremediability, capacity, quality of life, autonomy, family involvement, and healthcare system constraints have been debated intensively. Recent studies have not explored the views of family me…
Examining the Prevalence and Forms of Leveraged Treatment Pressure and Its Relationship to Personal Recovery
Searching for relief from suffering
Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) was introduced into Canadian legislation in 2016. Mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition (MI-SUMC) is excluded from eligibility; this is expected to change in 2024. Incurability, intolerable suffering, capacity to make healthcare decisions, and suicidality have been publicly debated in connection with mental illness. Few studies have explored the views of persons with mental illness on the intro…

Identifying Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and psychiatric comorbidity for children and youth in care
Adaptation of the Clinical Global Impression for Use in Correctional Settings
Background: Provision of mental health care in correctional settings presents unique challenges. There is a need for a simple-to-use tool to measure severity of mental illness in correctional settings that can be used by mental health staff from different disciplines. We adapted the severity scale of the Clinical Global Impression for use in correctional settings, which we have called CGI-C, and carried out a reliability study. Method: Clinical d…
Perspective On Excellence in Forensic Mental Health Services
We propose that excellence in forensic and other mental health services can be recognized by the abilities necessary to conduct randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and equivalent forms of rigorous quantitative research to continuously improve the outcomes of treatment as usual (TAU). Forensic mental health services (FMHSs) are growing, are high cost, and increasingly provide the main access route to more intensive, organized, and sustained pathwa…
Clinical, Demographic, and Criminal Behavior Characteristics of Patients With Intellectual Disabilities in a Canadian Forensic Program
Background: People with intellectual disability (ID) and forensic issues constitute a challenging clinical group that has been understudied in forensic settings. Methods: We assessed the characteristics of patients with ID under the authority of the Ontario Review Board (ORB) in a large forensic program of a tertiary psychiatric hospital (excluding those with a cognitive disorder) and compared their characteristics with those of a non-ID control …
Medical Assistance in Dying
Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), which comprises euthanasia and medically assisted suicide, is practiced in a growing number of countries and jurisdictions. In countries where it is permitted, the individual who requests it must be experiencing severe pain and suffering, but not all countries require the individual to be terminally ill. In some countries the suffering may be caused by a mental disorder in the absence of physical illness or dis…
