This study examined the relative effects of mental illness, substance abuse/dependence, and co-occurring mental disorders and substance abuse/dependence (CODs) on prison misconduct among male inmates ( = 2,065) incarcerated in Taiwan's nine correctional facilities. Both bivariate and multivariate analyses revealed that COD-affected inmates have the highest risk of prison misconduct compared to those with singular drug abuse/dependence disorders or no disorders, similar to the findings of previous studies conducted in the United States. These results highlighted the importance of clinical screenings and assessments for inmates who might have CODs. Integrated treatments may be more appropriate for inmates with CODs, rather than providing separate treatments for mental and drug abuse/dependence disorders.
本研究考察了精神疾病、物质滥用/依赖以及共病的精神障碍和物质滥用/依赖（COD）对台湾九所惩教设施中男性囚犯（=2065 人）监狱不当行为的相对影响。无论是双变量还是多变量分析都表明，与单一药物滥用/依赖障碍或无障碍的囚犯相比，受 COD 影响的囚犯入狱后有更高的不当行为风险，这与在美国进行的先前研究结果一致。这些结果强调了对可能存在 COD 的囚犯进行临床筛查和评估的重要性。对于共病患者，综合治疗可能比分别针对精神障碍和药物滥用/依赖障碍进行治疗更为合适。
