This study compares characteristics and outcomes of 70 defendants with and 1,122 without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) participating in a mental health court. Demographic and clinical characteristics differed, but criminal justice or program characteristics did not. Age, race, marital status, living situation, court location, health insurance status, and likelihood of mental illness or substance abuse diagnosis differed between the two groups. When controlling for other factors, a diagnosis of IDD did not affect the odds of negative termination from the court but did reduce the odds of rearrest within 1 year of leaving the court. Some mental health courts exclude people with IDD; the study concludes inclusion is appropriate.
本研究比较了 70 名患有和 1122 名不患有智力和发育障碍 (IDD) 的被告的特征和结果，他们参与了一个心理健康法庭。人口统计学和临床特征不同，但刑事司法或项目特征没有不同。两组之间的年龄、种族、婚姻状况、居住状况、法庭所在地、医疗保险状况以及精神疾病或药物滥用诊断的可能性不同。在控制其他因素的情况下，ID 诊断并不会影响从法庭负面终止的几率，但确实降低了离开法庭后 1 年内被捕的几率。一些心理健康法庭排除了 IDD 患者；研究结论认为纳入是合适的。
