Suicide prevention in Latin American prisons
BACKGROUND: Suicide is one of the most common causes of death in correctional settings. This study aimed to analyse prison suicide prevention policies and procedures across Latin America. METHODS: For this multiple case study, we collected data on prison suicide prevention in policies (laws), programmes (institutional framework) and protocols (procedures) from 17 Latin American countries, from (1) the public domain and (2) archival records held b…
Including Prisoners in Research Design
INTRODUCTION: Over the last decade, the number of older people in custody with common mental and physical health problems has increased. Little is known about the effectiveness of interventions targeting this age group. OBJECTIVE: To codevelop a practical guidance toolkit(s) to support the delivery of interventions to benefit the common mental and physical health of older people in custody. METHODS: Twelve 3-h workshops between March and April 20…
Evaluation of the Patient Innovation Partner Role
BACKGROUND: Patient engagement plays a valuable role in health research and quality improvement. While prior research highlights some principles and key considerations for patient involvement in these efforts, there is a limited understanding of how best to structure and support this engagement, especially from the patient perspective and for healthcare innovation projects. METHODS: Transcripts and notes from semi-structured debrief interviews wi…
Utilising survey data and qualitative information to inform a logic model to support older people in custody with common mental and physical health problems
A growing number of older people remain in custody each year resulting in an increasing number of common mental and physical health concerns. No prior evidenced-based targeted psychological interventions support this group of people, and little is known about their needs, current activities, and health-related problems. We addressed these gaps through a project involving older prisoners, prison staff and a project advisory group in one male and o…
‘Taking time’
PAMHOP (The Physical And Mental Health of Older Prisoners) is an inter- and transdisciplinary project funded by the UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The project has two principal aims: to better understand the physical and common mental health needs of older people within the criminal justice system; and to assess the implementation of some novel tailored interventions that might benefit this community and shape policy…
Keeping users experiencing a suicidal crisis safe online
Individuals in a heightened state of suicidal desire often utilize online mental health forums for support. What we know about support comes predominately from forum-user research and their experiences and perspectives. Little research has considered the supportive role professional moderators’ play in such situations, with no research exploring how professional moderators keep forum-users safe online. The aim of this study was to explore the in-…
Co‐production and adaptation of a prison‐based problem‐solving workbook to support the mental health of patients housed within a medium‐ and low‐secure forensic service
INTRODUCTION: Problem-solving skills (PSS) help to provide a systematic approach to dealing with and managing complex problems. The overall aim of this study was to assess the acceptability and feasibility of developing and adapting a prison-based PSS workbook for adults within a medium- and low-secure hospital. METHOD: We used the Medical Research Council framework in our participatory mixed methods study incorporating an adapted survey (to iden…
Identifying and Responding to Intimate Partner Violence in Australian Refugee Settlement Services
I Want to Be Stepping in More” - Professional Online Forum Moderators' Experiences of Supporting Individuals in a Suicide Crisis
Findings indicate that the professionally qualified moderator role is complex and multifaceted, with organizations failing to recognize these aspects. Organizations restrict moderators from using their full therapeutic skill set, limiting them to only identifying and re-directing at-risk users to crisis services. The benefits of moderated online forums could be enhanced by allowing moderators to use more of their skills. To facilitate this, in-si…
Risk factors for suicide in prisons
Stigmatisation of those with mental health conditions in the acute general hospital setting. A qualitative framework synthesis
Patients with long-term mental health conditions often have complex physical, mental, and social needs. They are frequent users of the acute general healthcare system, but can experience stigmatising attitudes and behaviours, and structural discrimination. We wished to improve understanding of stigmatisation in the acute healthcare setting, to target areas for future intervention
Implementation of a problem-solving training initiative to reduce self-harm in prisons
BACKGROUND: Social problem-solving is one technique used to help reduce incidence of self-harm. Our study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of the adaptation and implementation of a brief Problem-Solving Training (PST) intervention to reduce self-harm in prisons. METHODS: The process involved i) adaptation of the training materials using focus groups with prison staff and prisoners, ii) training frontline prison staff to use the skills,…
Intimate partner violence screening and counseling in the health care setting
Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects women worldwide, and is addressable in the health care setting not only via screening, but also through provider-based counseling and referral to legal or social services, as appropriate. We conducted a study in Pennsylvania (USA) examining factors associated with receipt of IPV screening and women's perceptions of counseling discussions as a strategic response. We found that women with past-year IPV were m…
Reducing crime
How can we reduce criminal behaviour? This important volume presents an extensive review of over 100 studies assessing the effectiveness of criminal justice interventions in the reduction of crime. It draws together information about where, for whom, and critically, at what cost the interventions are effective in reducing and deterring crime. Each chapter discusses the research evidence, current policy and practice, and findings from the review, …
The Costs and Benefits of Sentencing
It is increasingly being recognized that it is essential to know not only what is effective in reducing criminal behavior but also the relative costs and benefits of criminal justice interventions. While a number of studies now include such costs and benefits, the evidence is difficult to compare because of differing research designs and cost-benefit methodologies. This article systematically reviews the current evidence on the costs and benefits…
Specialist service use following psychiatric emergency presentation
The aim of the present study was to identify the subsequent use of specialist psychiatric services by a group of 170 individuals referred as psychiatric emergencies. Hospital and community mental health team (CMHT) records and databases were used to identify specialist contact in an 18-month follow-up period. Out of the total of 170 people, 169 were traced. The majority (60.9%) had had some specialist psychiatric contact in the follow-up period. …
Effective Legal Systems and Foreign Direct Investment
What do we know about the role of legal systems as determinants of the location of foreign direct investment (FDI)? The short answer to this question is: not enough. 1 In recent decades, most governments have come to believe that FDI is an important source of the capital and technology necessary for economic development, and to seek new ways to induce foreign investors to locate within their jurisdiction. 2 Commentators and development agencies r…
