Evaluation of Excellence in Italy's Residences for Execution of Security Measures
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Treatment as usual (TAU) for Mental Disorder and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 245 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The model of care for forensic psychiatry in Italy was changed by law (Law 81/2014) so that the six legacy secure forensic hospitals (Judicial Psychiatric Hospitals, OPG) were closed and new secure community residences for the execution of security measures (REMS) were opened in each of the 20 regions of Italy. This transition was in place by 2015. This observational study evaluates the health gains for patients both previously in OPGs and those admitted first to REMS. Health gains assessed include recovery measured by symptoms, function, need for therapeutic security and recovery of legal autonomy.
