BACKGROUND
The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) model is a law enforcement strategy that aims to build alliances between the law enforcement and mental health communities. Despite its success in the United States, CIT has not been used in low- and middle-income countries. This study assesses the immediate and 9-month outcomes of CIT training on trainee knowledge and attitudes.
METHODS
Twenty-two CIT trainees (14 law enforcement officers and eight mental health clinicians) were evaluated using pre-developed measures assessing knowledge and attitudes related to mental illness. Evaluations were conducted prior to, immediately after, and 9 months post training.
RESULTS
The CIT training produced improvements both immediately and 9 months post training in knowledge and attitudes, suggesting that CIT can benefit law enforcement officers even in extremely low-resource settings with limited specialized mental health service infrastructure.
CONCLUSION
These findings support further exploration of the benefits of CIT in highly under-resourced settings.
背景
危机干预团队（CIT）模式是一种执法策略，旨在在执法部门和心理健康社区之间建立联盟。尽管CIT在美国取得了成功，但在低收入和中等收入国家尚未得到应用。本研究评估了CIT培训对学员知识和态度的即时及9个月后的效果。
方法
使用预先制定的评估与精神疾病相关知识和态度的措施，对22名CIT学员（14名执法人员和8名心理健康临床医生）进行评估。在培训前、培训后立即以及培训后9个月进行评估。
结果
CIT培训在培训后立即和9个月时均使知识和态度得到改善，这表明即使在精神卫生服务基础设施有限的资源极度匮乏环境中，CIT也能使执法人员受益。
结论
这些发现支持进一步探索CIT在资源严重不足环境中的益处。
