New system aims to keep people with mental illness out of jail, back in care
NCT ID NCT03740139
Summary
This study tested a new system designed to help people with serious mental illnesses avoid unnecessary arrests and stay connected to treatment. When police ran a routine check during an encounter, half the participants triggered a message alerting the officer to call a mental health specialist for advice. Researchers wanted to see if this simple connection could reduce arrests and prevent gaps in outpatient care for over 1,400 participants in Georgia.
