Improving Mental Health Services for Prisoners With Serious Mental Illnesses

University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill·interventional·Posted Oct 19, 2018·Updated Oct 27, 2021

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating T4C-SMI for Mental Disorder. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Interventions that address criminogenic risk factors, such as Thinking for a Change (T4C), are not used with prisoners with serious mental illness (SMI) because of the neurocognitive and social impairments associated with SMI. This study examines the effectiveness of T4C with a modified delivery system designed specifically to address the unique needs of persons with SMI in prison, including improving impulsivity, criminal attitudes, and interpersonal problem solving (treatment targets) and levels of aggression, and the amount of behavioral infractions and time spent in administrative segregation in prison (outcomes).

Interventions

T4C-SMIbehavioral

T4C-SMI entails a 25-session, manualized intervention that is delivered in a closed-group format at least twice a week over a three-month period. The intervention curriculum includes three modules: nine sessions on social skills training, five sessions on cognitive restructuring activities, and ten sessions on problem-solving methods. Participants assigned to T4C-SMI receive this intervention in addition to any other prison mental health services that they are otherwise eligible to receive during their incarceration.
