Research shows criminal justice system involved individuals are more likely to have behavioral health needs. This study analyzes nationally representative data on non-incarcerated individuals with mental disorders. It examines whether having past year criminal justice system involvement was associated with perceiving an unmet need for mental health treatment and the reasons for that unmet need. Results show criminal justice system involved individuals were more likely to report perceived unmet need for mental health treatment (OR = 1.20, p <.001). Among those not receiving mental health treatment, criminal justice system involvement yielded a higher relative risk of identifying affordability as the primary reason for having unmet mental health treatment need (RRR = 1.92, p <.001). Among those receiving mental health treatment, having criminal justice system involvement yielded a higher relative risk of identifying stigma as the primary reason for having unmet need (RRR = 1.99, p <.001).
研究表明，涉及刑事司法系统的个人更有可能有行为健康需求。本研究分析了关于患有精神障碍的非在押人员的全国代表性数据。它考察了过去一年涉及刑事司法系统是否与感知到未满足的心理健康治疗需求以及该未满足需求的原因有关。结果显示，涉及刑事司法系统的个人更有可能报告感知到未满足的心理健康治疗需求（比值比=1.20，p<.001）。在未接受心理健康治疗的人群中，涉及刑事司法系统使将可负担性确定为未满足心理健康治疗需求的主要原因的相对风险更高（相对风险比=1.92，p<.001）。在接受心理健康治疗的人群中，涉及刑事司法系统使将耻辱感确定为未满足需求的主要原因的相对风险更高（相对风险比=1.99，p<.001）。
