METHOD One hundred eighty-four involuntarily hospitalized patients were randomly assigned to be released (N=99) or to continue under outpatient commitment (N=85) after hospital discharge. An additional group of patients with a recent history of serious violent behavior (N=39) was nonrandomly assigned to at least a brief period of outpatient commitment following hospital disharge. All three groups were followed for 1 year, and case management services plus additional outpatient treatment were provided to all subjects. Outcome data were based on interviews with the patients and informants as well as service records. RESULTS Subjects who were ordered to outpatient commitment were less likely to be criminally victimized than those who were released without outpatient commitment. Multivariate analysis indicated that each additional day of outpatient commitment reduced the risk of criminal victimization and that outpatient commitment had its effect through improved medication adherence, reduced substance use or abuse, and fewer violent incidents.

METHODS A total of 331 involuntarily hospitalized patients awaiting discharge under outpatient commitment were randomly assigned to be released or to undergo outpatient commitment. Each received case management services and outpatient treatment. Participants in both groups were monitored for one year. After the initial 90-day outpatient commitment order, a patient could receive a renewable 180-day extension. Patients in the control group were immune from outpatient commitment for one year. Information was obtained from self-reports and reports of several informants as well as from outpatient treatment, hospital, and arrest records. RESULTS In most bivariate analyses, outcomes for the outpatient commitment group and the control group did not differ significantly when the duration of outpatient commitment was not taken into account. However, patients who underwent sustained outpatient commitment and who received relatively intensive outpatient treatment had fewer hospital admissions and fewer days in the hospital, were more likely to adhere to community treatment, and were less likely to be violent or to be victimized. Extended outpatient commitment was also associated with fewer arrests of participants with a combined history of multiple rehospitalizations and previous arrests. The intervention was particularly effective among individuals with psychotic disorders. CONCLUSIONS Outpatient commitment can improve treatment outcomes when the court order is sustained and combined with relatively intensive community treatment. A court order alone cannot substitute for effective treatment in improving outcomes.}, number={3}, journal={PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES}, author={Swartz, MS and Swanson, JW and Hiday, VA and Wagner, HR and Burns, BJ and Borum, R}, year={2001}, month={Mar}, pages={325–329} } @article{swanson_borum_swartz_hiday_wagner_burns_2001, title={Can involuntary outpatient commitment reduce arrests among persons with severe mental illness?}, volume={28}, ISSN={["1552-3594"]}, DOI={10.1177/0093854801028002002}, abstractNote={Involuntary outpatient commitment (OPC) is a promising but controversial legal intervention that may reduce criminal justice contact in persons with severe mental illness (SMI).

Previous attempts to examine the reasons for this have mostly used cross-sectional designs that limit the ability to distinguish, among the correlates they identify, potential causes of victimization from its consequences.We studied patients with schizophrenia participating in the NIMH-funded Clinical Antipsychotic Treatment for Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE) trial. The dependent variable was self-reported victimization during the 18-month CATIE follow-up. Independent variables were assessed at study entry and included demographics, childhood experiences, recent victimization and violent behavior, social circumstances, and mental health symptoms. Bivariate and multivariate analyses examined correlates of victimization and, among those victimized, the correlates of also acting violently oneself.Of 1179 participants, 206 (17.5 %) reported one or more incidents where they were victimized over the 18-months. Over a third had been hit with a fist or an object. Most perpetrators were family or acquaintances. Controlling for other variables, victimization was associated with having been recently victimized at baseline as well as with sexual abuse in childhood, frequent interactions with close friends and depressive, but not schizophrenia, symptoms. Victimized participants who reported acting violently themselves (113; 55%) were more likely to report violent behavior at baseline and frequent interactions with close friends.Victimization in schizophrenia is often associated with aggressive behavior by the victim and is more often related to social involvement, past trauma, substance use and depression than to schizophrenia symptoms.

METHODS Subjects were 331 involuntarily admitted psychiatric inpatients who were ordered by the court to outpatient commitment after discharge. Extensive interviews provided information on subjects' experience with crime in the previous four months and their perceived vulnerability to victimization, as well as on their living conditions and substance use. Medical records provided clinical data. RESULTS The rate of nonviolent criminal victimization (22.4 percent) was similar to that in the general population (21.1 percent). The rate of violent criminal victimization was two and a half times greater than in the general population--8.2 percent versus 3.1 percent. Being an urban resident, using alcohol or drugs, having a secondary diagnosis of a personality disorder, and experiencing transient living conditions before hospitalization were significantly associated with being the victim of a crime. In the multivariate analysis, substance use and transient living conditions were strong predictors of criminal victimization; no demographic or clinical variable was a significant predictor. (Given the relatively high crime rates, subjects' perceived vulnerability to victimization was unexpectedly low; only 16.3 percent expressed concerns about personal safety. Those with a higher level of education expressed greater feelings of vulnerability.

The present paper describes characteristics of violent behavioral events in a sample of 331 people with psychotic or major mood disorders who were placed on involuntary outpatient commitment in North Carolina. By pooling baseline data from respondents' self-report, collateral informant interviews, and hospital records, the study found violent behavior to be a problem affecting over half the sample in a 4-month period preceding hospitalization. The study also found considerable variability in the frequency of violent events, severity, weapon use, subjective state when incidents occurred, initiation of fights, settings, relationship to others involved, and associated threat of victimization. Multivariable analyses showed that cooccurring substance abuse problems, history of criminal victimization, and age (being younger) were significantly associated with violent behavior when all sources of data were taken into account.

It can impact several treatment outcomes, such as treatment adherence and engagement with services. At the same time, as an outcome in itself, satisfaction with care is also affected by several factors, first and foremost by being coerced. The main aim of this study was to test if perceiving treatment pressures as fair and effective could positively impact patient satisfaction, even more than formal coercive measures.Globally, 133 voluntary and involuntary inpatients were interviewed. Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, including history of previous experiences of formal coercion and legal status of the hospitalisation, were collected through a structured questionnaire and medical charts. The participants were also asked to complete the Index of Fairness and Index of Effectiveness tools as well as a structured questionnaire on satisfaction with care. Simple and multiple linear regressions were performed.Although several factors were found to affect satisfaction with care when taken independently, perceived fairness was the stronger predictor of both satisfaction with treatment (β =.234; p = .022) and satisfaction with decision-making involvement (β =.360; p < .001) when controlling for confounders.Our results point to the paramount importance of developing and implementing interventions that promote procedural fairness in psychiatric treatment and thereby improve patient satisfaction while reducing the risk of disengagement with care.}, number={2}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LAW AND PSYCHIATRY}, author={Hiday, VA and Swartz, MS and Swanson, J and Wagner, HR}, year={1997}, pages={227–241} } @article{borum_swanson_swartz_hiday_wagner_1997, title={Substance abuse, violent behavior and police encounters among persons with severe mental disorders}, volume={13}, number={1997}, journal={Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice}, author={Borum, R. and Swanson, J.
