Change in Severity of Mental Disorder for Individuals in Custody in Short-Term Segregation
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate the longitudinal effects of short-term segregation on the mental health of individuals in custody, using Clinical Global Impression for Corrections (CGI-C) ratings to assess changes in severity over time. Their findings revealed that while a portion of individuals showed improvement in mental health severity, those with identified mental health needs experienced a less favorable trajectory, and baseline severity significantly influenced outcomes. Overall, high-severity individuals remained more symptomatic despite some improvements, highlighting the complex relationship between segregation and mental health.
