Study Summary
The aim of this randomized, controlled trial is to study the effectiveness of a potential new form of pre-arrest jail diversion for people with serious mental illnesses: the Police-Mental Health Linkage System. In the case of an encounter with a police officer, for half of the participants, during the background check, a message will notify the officer that the subject has mental health considerations. The notice contains a phone number of a provider working at the mental health clinic where the subject is receiving services, who can provide telephonic support to the officer. For the other half of participants, the message will not appear to the officers in the case of an encounter.
Primary Outcome
Hypothesis A: Patients randomized to the linkage system will be less likely to be arrested in the 24-month study period than those not in the system, based on administrative (rap) sheet data provided by GBI. Hypothesis B: Patients randomized to the linkage system will have fewer arrests than controls in that 24-month period.
