“…Recent research has examined the effect of expedited Medicaid enrollment in a statewide sample of offenders with severe mental illness released from Washington State prisons. Although Medicaid enrollment and health service use were significantly greater in the expedited group than in propensity score–weighted controls, there were no significant between‐group differences in arrests or re‐incarceration either at 12‐month or 36‐month follow‐up periods …”

“…Although Medicaid enrollment and health service use were significantly greater in the expedited group than in propensity score-weighted controls, there were no significant between-group differences in arrests or re-incarceration either at 12-month 21 or 36month follow-up periods. 22 The implication of these studies is that while Medicaid enrollment substantially improves access to mental health treatment, this greater level of treatment does not correspond to reductions in incarceration. Another possibility is these studies have failed to properly account for timeliness or intensity of mental health service use upon release from institutional settings.…”

Objective To examine whether the receipt of timely mental health services is associated with changes in criminal justice interactions. Data Sources We used linked administrative data from Medicaid, mental health, and criminal justice settings in Washington State for persons with severe mental illness released from prison (n = 3086). Study Design We estimate local and average treatment effects to examine measures of criminal justice use in the year following release as a function of timely mental health services. Data Extraction Methods Measures of timely service and criminal justice use within 12 months postrelease were created from administrative data. Principal Findings Individuals receiving timely mental health services are more likely to experience prison re‐incarceration overall and specifically for technical violations 12 months postrelease. The effect of service receipt on incarceration for new charges was negative but not significant. Conclusions The finding that mental health services receipt is associated with increased risk of re‐incarceration due to technical violations speaks to the complexity of the relationship between mental health and criminal justice services for justice‐involved persons with severe mental illness. Further research should examine strategies at the interface of criminal justice and mental health that can improve mental health and criminal justice outcomes for this vulnerable population.

“…Other interventions addressed risk factors for justice involvement like lack of insurance, unemployment, emotional regulation, and academic achievement [ 79 – 81 , 82 •, 83 ]. Two quasi-experimental studies focused on healthcare access, examining the downstream service use and recidivism effects of expedited Medicaid enrollment for recent prison releasees with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder in Washington State ( n = 3086) [ 79 , 80 ]. Twelve months post-implementation, 81% of the expedited group and 43% of the services as usual group were enrolled in Medicaid, ( p < .01).…”

Purpose of Review We review recent community interventions to promote mental health and social equity. We define community interventions as those that involve multi-sector partnerships, emphasize community members as integral to the intervention, and/ or deliver services in community settings. We examine literature in seven topic areas: collaborative care, early psychosis, schoolbased interventions, homelessness, criminal justice, global mental health, and mental health promotion/prevention. We adapt the social-ecological model for health promotion and provide a framework for understanding the actions of community interventions. Recent Findings There are recent examples of effective interventions in each topic area. The majority of interventions focus on individual, family/interpersonal, and program/institutional social-ecological levels, with few intervening on whole communities or involving multiple non-healthcare sectors. Findings from many studies reinforce the interplay among mental health, interpersonal relationships, and social determinants of health. Summary There is evidence for the effectiveness of community interventions for improving mental health and some social outcomes across social-ecological levels. Studies indicate the importance of ongoing resources and training to maintain long-term outcomes, explicit attention to ethics and processes to foster equitable partnerships, and policy reform to support sustainable healthcare-community collaborations.
