In this study, 101 imprisoned adults with SMI rated their level of concern over meeting their basic needs and obtaining services following incarceration. Greater reentry concern was predicted by anticipated barriers to psychological care and increased psychological distress. When participants were asked what factors concerned them most, 51% identified housing, 41% financial concerns, and 39% obtaining services. The extent level of concern related to recidivism (rearrest during the 6-month follow-up post-release) was also examined; no significant relationship was observed. Findings align with prior research, suggesting that there should be less emphasis on convincing individuals of the value of mental health care and a greater focus on how to help them meet other demands that may prevent them from seeking such services. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
