Summary

This study tested a special team-based program called R-FACT for people with serious mental illness who are also involved with the criminal justice system. The program provides intensive, community-based support with close coordination between mental health and justice staff. Researchers compared this to standard outpatient care in 40 participants over 24 months, looking at whether it reduced time spent in jail and improved mental health.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Rochester Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (R-FACT) model
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a better way to support people with serious mental illness who are involved with the criminal justice system, potentially reducing incarceration and improving community functioning.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral and may not work for everyone.
