The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) model of jail diversion is a promising approach to addressing the over-involvement of people with mental illness with the criminal justice system. Despite its popularity and promising empirical support, the literature has yet to clarify CIT's critical elements. The aim of this study was to assess the degree to which experts agreement on the importance and perceived implementation of the critical elements of CIT. Study 1 used a literature review to cull potential elements. Three experts familiar with the CIT model reviewed these elements. Study 2 utilized an online survey of 55 CIT co-ordinators/officers and published experts to assess agreement regarding importance and degree the element is implemented. A preliminary list of 36 elements was identified with a high level of expert agreement on their importance regarding importance and implementation. This study developed a preliminary list of elements of the CIT's program. Further research should develop consensus, explore elements' association with outcomes, and differentiate elements from those common to all jail diversion programs.
危机干预小组（CIT）模式是一种有前途的方法，可以解决精神疾病患者过度卷入刑事司法系统的问题。尽管 CIT 模式广受欢迎且有令人鼓舞的实证支持，但文献尚未阐明 CIT 的关键要素。本研究旨在评估专家对 CIT 关键要素的重要性和实施程度的共识程度。研究 1 使用文献回顾来筛选潜在要素。三位熟悉 CIT 模式的专家对这些要素进行了审查。研究 2 使用了一项针对 55 名 CIT 协调员/官员和已发表专家的在线调查，评估了他们对重要性和实施程度的重要性和实施程度的重要性和实施程度的共识程度。初步确定了 36 个要素，这些要素在重要性和实施程度方面得到了专家的高度一致认可。本研究开发了 CIT 计划的初步要素清单。进一步的研究应该达成共识，探讨要素与结果的关系，并将要素与所有监狱分流计划共有的要素区分开来。
