Identification and Management of Mental Health Problems and Integration of Care for Adults in Contact with the Criminal Justice System.

This guideline has been developed to advise on identification and management of mental health problems and integration of care for adults in contact with the criminal justice system. The guideline recommendations have been developed after careful consideration of the best available evidence by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, criminal justice system professionals, people with mental health problems who have been in contact with the criminal justice system, their carers and guideline methodologists. It is intended that the guideline will be useful to clinicians and service commissioners in the identification and management of mental health problems and integration of care for adults in contact with the criminal justice system (see Appendix A for more details on the scope of the guideline).
