To investigate to what extent mental health treatment needs are met in white and black and minority ethnic (BME) prisoners.
Treatment needs of a random sample of male (n = 197) and female (n = 171) prisoners were assessed with standardised instruments. Interventions provided were confirmed through face-to-face interviews and case note review.
BME prisoners comprised 44% of participants. Treatment for depression, personality disorder and alcohol abuse was more often needed by White than BME prisoners. Needs were more frequently met in White than BME prisoners (48.5% vs 38.2%; p < 0.05), largely due to the delivery of psychological treatments.
BME prisoners had fewer of their mental health needs met.

使用标准化工具评估了随机抽取的男性(n=197)和女性(n=171)囚犯的治疗需求。通过面对面访谈和病例记录审查确认提供的干预措施。
BME 囚犯占参与者的 44%。与 BME 囚犯相比,白人囚犯更需要治疗抑郁症、人格障碍和酒精滥用。与 BME 囚犯相比,白人囚犯的需求得到了更频繁的满足(48.5%比 38.2%;p<0.05),这主要是由于心理治疗的提供。
