7 Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) Statistical agency of the U.S. Department of Justice. BJS was established on December 27, Mission à to collect, analyze, publish, and disseminate information on crime, criminal offenders, victims of crime, and the operation of justice systems. BJS does NOT make policies, or provide oversight or monitoring of correctional facility operations. BJS publications, web tools, and data collections are available at 7

8 Mental Health Report Brief Overview Indicators of Mental Health Problems Reported by Prison and Jail Inmates, (NCJ ) June 2017 Purpose to present self-reported prevalence estimates of mental heath indicators among inmates Compares prisoners to jail inmates Compares prisoners and jail inmates to the general population Inmate demographics Criminal justice variables (i.e. most serious current offense) Treatment for mental health problems since admission Rule violations while incarcerated. 8

9 Inmate Data Source: National Inmate Survey (NIS) NIS purpose is to collect sexual victimization data, as mandated under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). NIS-3 was conducted in It is BJS most recent survey of mental health problems among prisoners and jail inmates. Collects self-report data using audio-computer assisted self interview (ACASI) Nationally representative sample of inmates in the U.S. 41,822 adult inmates in 233 state and federal prisons 58,745 adult inmates in 358 jails. 9

10 General Population Data Source: National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) NSDUH is collected by SAMHSA. Adults 18+. Data came from the surveys. NSDUH measures past-30 day serious psychological distress (SPD). NSDUH data were standardized to match the prisoner and jail inmate populations by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin. Includes an indicator of criminal justice involvement in past 12 months: None Probation or parole Arrested 10

11 BJS Mental Health Indicators Current indicator Serious psychological distress (SPD) in the past 30-days, as measured by a score of 13+ on the K6 Scale (Kessler-6) Lifetime/history of a mental health problem Has a mental health professional ever told you that you have a mental disorder? 11

12 What is the K6? The K6 (Kessler-6) is a general population scale used to identify individuals who likely have a serious mental illness. 6 questions In the 30 days prior to the interview how often did you feel Nervous Hopeless Restless or fidgety So depressed nothing could cheer you up Everything was an effort Worthless Continued 12

13 What is serious psychological distress (SPD)? K6 scores range from 1 (all of the time) to 5 (none of the time). Scores are then recoded to provide a summary score with a range of 0 to 24. A score of 13 or higher indicates the person has SPD. SPD IS NOT A MENTAL DISORDER SPD IS NOT A DIAGNOSIS. SPD IS AN INDICATOR that a person likely has a mental illness and should receive an appropriate assessment. 13

26 Report Limitations Self-report data and not verified by medical records, clinical interviews, etc. We do not know the time period, or setting, in which an inmate was told they had a mental disorder. The lifetime measure is conflated with access to health care and treatment-seeking behavior. We have limited information about the relationship of either mental health indicator in relation to the current offense or current incarceration. Causation or correlation between one s mental health status and incarceration cannot be assumed with this data. National level data only Trends could not be produced The K6 scale was not included on past BJS inmate surveys Mode differences (ACASI versus CAPI). 26

27 Summary of Findings Prisoners were 3 times more likely to have SPD than the total adult general population (GP). Jail inmates were 5 times more likely to have SPD than the total adult GP. Female prisoners and jail inmates were more likely than males to have an indicator of a mental health problem. More white prisoners and jail inmates had SPD than black or Hispanic inmates. Prisoners incarcerated for a violent crime or property crime were equally as likely to have SPD or a history of a mental health problem. There was no difference among prisoners or jail inmates with SPD and sentence length. Prisoners and jail inmates with an indicator of a mental health problem were more likely to have a rule violation than inmates without an indicator. 27

48 Mental Illness and Drug Use by Prisoners and Jail Inmates National Findings on Mental Illness and Drug Use by Prisoners and Jail Inmates Thinking Through How to Use This Information Locally Research and Evaluation Considerations Question & Answer

49 How to Use National Information For comparison purposes and as a point of reference The National Survey of Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) was used in these analysis The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration provides a Behavioral Health Barometer with state level data Volume 4 utilizes 2016 NSDUH data

50 What Information Is Being Collecting? Is there a standard process for screening in the jail or prison facility? Does your jurisdiction know: The number of people with mental illness The number of people with substance use disorders Demographic information by gender and race

51 383 Counties Have Passed Resolutions

52 To Reduce the Number of People With Mental Illnesses in Jails, County Leaders Should Ask These Questions Six Key Questions 1. Is your leadership committed? 2. Do you have timely screening and assessment? 3. Do you have baseline data? 4. Have you conducted a comprehensive process analysis and service inventory? 5. Have you prioritized policy, practice, and funding? 6. Do you track progress? 3

53 Reminder: Four Key Measures To Track Progress of Stepping Up Efforts 1. Reduce the number of people with mental illness booked into jail 2. Shorten the average length of stay for people with mental illnesses in jails 3. Increase the percentage of people with mental illnesses in jail connected to the right services and supports 4. Lower rates of recidivism 4

54 þ Question 2: Do You Have Timely Screening and Assessment? System-wide definition of mental illness þ System-wide definition of substance use disorders þ Validated screening and assessment tools for mental illness and substance use þ Efficient screening and assessment process þ Validated assessment for pretrial risk þ Mechanisms for information sharing 6

55 Mental Illness and Drug Use by Prisoners and Jail Inmates National Findings on Mental Illness and Drug Use by Prisoners and Jail Inmates Thinking Through How to Use This Information Locally Research and Evaluation Considerations Question & Answer

56 Research and Evaluation Considerations How will data be collected? Will people be surveyed? Will data be accessed from case files or MIS systems? What information sharing agreements should be in place in order to collect the information you need?

57 Research and Evaluation Considerations Who is collecting the data? How are staff trained to obtained this information? Do evaluators have the needed access to the population and records? What training is needed for staff to do this work? Interview training Data entry Data analysis How do staff get feedback and coaching about this work?

58 Research and Evaluation Considerations What happens after the evaluation? How do evaluation partners share findings with program and institutional staff? How can this research help us learn more about our population? How can the evaluation help to identify service gaps? What training and education can help staff better serve the population? How can evaluation partners participating in planning for new work?

59 Research and Evaluation Considerations Next Steps and New Partnerships Is leadership onboard? What partners will take part in initiative planning? What programs can be implemented to be responsive to the needs of the population? How can we develop partnerships in the community to transfer care for people returning home? How can we develop practices to ensure programs are implemented to fidelity? What tools can evaluators share to help map out your work? What is the long term evaluation plan?
