“…A number of studies have examined the feasibility of physicians delivering alcohol brief interventions in such settings. A study in France found that physician-delivered brief alcohol interventions were mostly feasible (Chariot et al, 2014b), although similar concerns were raised regarding role legitimacy by physicians, many of whom considered themselves to have a judicial role only with no caregiving (Best, Noble, Stark, & Marshall, 2002). It may be that, for alcohol screening and brief intervention to be implemented effectively, the delivering agent would need to have role legitimacy borne equally out of both containment and care functions.…”

“…Both the DOs and AIRS expressed a pessimistic view of arrestees' willingness to accurately report upon their alcohol use, which impacted upon the perceived value of providing care for heavy drinkers. Perceptions of offender inaccurate reporting have been highlighted as a barrier in other intervention research in the criminal justice system (Maggia et al, 2004;Sondhi, Birch, Lynch, Holloway, & Newbury-Birch, 2016), including in a study of alcohol and brief interventions delivered by physicians within a custody suite (Chariot et al, 2014b). This suggests that interactional and interpersonal barriers are a characteristic of the context rather than the specific care and containment roles within it.…”

“…A small number of studies have examined the feasibility of health and social care providers screening and delivering brief alcohol intervention in the custody suite (Chariot et al, 2014b;Lefevre et al, 2018) and other non-health settings (Giles et al, 2016;McGovern et al, 2018;Newbury-Birch et al, 2014;Webb, Shakeshaft, Sanson-Fisher, & Havard, 2009). At present, it is unclear whether screening and brief interventions can be delivered by custody staff within a pressurised context of containment.…”

Containment and care? A qualitative interview study exploring police custody staff views about delivering brief alcohol interventions to heavy drinking arrestees

Heavy alcohol use and associated needs are prevalent amongst arrestees. The custody suite offers an opportunity to identify and intervene with this population. However, it is unclear whether functions of care can be effectively delivered within an environment of containment. This study aimed to examine custody staff experiences of screening and delivering brief alcohol interventions to heavy drinking arrestees. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 25 custody staff (detention officers and assessment, intervention and referral staff), involved in a pilot feasibility trial of alcohol screening and brief interventions in the police custody suite. We examined the tension between containment and care using concepts of role security and therapeutic commitment to guide our analysis. Our findings show that custody staff considered brief interventions to be legitimate in the custody suite setting, although there were differing views relating to which staff are best placed to deliver them. Detention officers reported vacillating therapeutic commitment to intervening with heavy drinking arrestees, compounded by some arrestees being perceived to be 'undeserving' of care. Tensions inherent in the need for 'containment' as well as 'care' must be addressed if brief alcohol interventions are to be implemented within the custody suite. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Coupled with tobacco and alcohol use, cannabis use has adverse effects on fetal growth and development (Cornelius et al, 2002; Richardson et al, 1995), increases risk for harder drugs (Golub and Johnson, 2001), and negatively impacts educational achievements (Centers for Disease, 1991; Martin et al, 1992). Interventions for co-occuring substance use have demonstrated favorable effects (Chariot et al, 2014; Gmel et al, 2013; Laporte et al, 2014). However, recent work has shown differential effects on health risk behavior when comparing the influence of cognitive processes related to one substance versus a different substance.…”

Objectives The present study evaluated the effects of cannabis motives on multi-substance use in an effort to examine the incremental validity of cannabis motives with respect to substance use outcomes. Methods Participants were 167 treatment-seeking smokers (41.92% female; Mage = 28.74; SD = 11.88) who reported smoking an average of 10 or more cigarettes daily for at least one year. Results Structural equation modeling was used to examine the association between cannabis motives and two dependent variables each for alcohol (drinking frequency and alcohol problems), cannabis (cannabis use frequency and cannabis problems), and tobacco (average cigarettes per day and nicotine dependence). Findings indicated that conformity motives were linked with increases in alcohol problems and cannabis problems. Enhancement motives were associated with increased cannabis use and cannabis problems. Coping motives were linked with increased cannabis use and cannabis problems. Contrary to expectations, expansion motives were associated with reductions in the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Also, results supported expectations that the observed effects due to cannabis motives were unique from shared variance with theoretically relevant covariates. Conclusions The present findings supported predictions that cannabis motives would evince effects on the use of multiple substances over and above theoretically relevant variables. However, results indicate that the relationship between cannabis motives and multi-substance use is complex, and therefore, additional research is warranted to better understand substance use intervention.

“…This indicates the need for a robust service response within both primary care and mental health services in police custody, and, possibly, for a renewed strategy for approaching those who are intoxicated while they are in police custody. Brief screening and interventions, for example, are thought to be feasible in this setting (Chariot, Lepresle, Lefevre, Boraud, Barthes & Tedlaouti, 2014), and there is some evidence that an improved strategy for managing intoxicated people in police custody can lead to safety improvements (Aasebo, Orskaug & Erikssen, 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the prevalence of suicide ideation amongst a group of people who had been arrested and taken into police custody, and were then referred to a mental health service operating in the police stations. Design/methodology/approach A referred sample of 888 cases were collected over an 18-month period during 2012/2013. Clinical assessments were conducted using a template in which background information was collected (including information about their previous clinical history, substance misuse, alleged offence, any pre-identified diagnoses, and the response of the service) as part of the standard operating procedure of the service. Data were analysed using a statistical software package. Findings In total, 16.2 per cent (n=144) reported suicide ideation, with women being more likely to report than men. In total, 82.6 per cent of the suicide ideation sample reported a history of self-harm or a suicide attempt. Suicide ideation was also associated with certain diagnostic categories (depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and personality disorder), a history of contact with mental health services, and recent (within 24 hours) consumption of alcohol or drugs. Originality/value This evaluation adds to the limited literature in this area by describing a large sample from a real clinical service. It provides information that can assist with future service designs and it offers support for calls for a standardised health screening process, better safety arrangements for those who have recently used alcohol or drugs (within 24 hours) and integrated service delivery across healthcare domains (i.e. physical healthcare, substance use, and mental health).
