ABSTRACT Evidence shows substance use disorders and mental health conditions are linked to an increased probability of jail readmission, but many local facilities do not have the resources to conduct comprehensive behavioral health assessments. This prospective longitudinal study examined the utility of a nine-item screen to identify adults with a high probability of readmission. Results from a sample of 255 adults booked into a local county jail demonstrate that this brief index can classify adults with accuracy rates similar to those of significantly longer instruments. Multivariate logistic regression analyses also indicate the index is significantly associated with the risk of 12-month jail readmission.

通过九项行为健康屏幕评估入狱风险

摘要证据表明,物质使用障碍和精神健康状况与入狱的可能性增加有关,但是许多当地机构没有资源进行全面的行为健康评估。这项前瞻性纵向研究检查了九个项目的筛查工具的实用性,以识别高再入院率的成年人。对从255个成年人中抽样到当地县监狱中的样本的结果表明,该简短索引可以对成年人进行分类,其准确率与明显更长的工具相似。多元逻辑回归分析还表明该指数与12个月入狱的风险显着相关。
