Current national standards and/or guidelines for correctional mental health care programs emphasize the importance of various levels of mental health screening and evaluation that should be performed by qualified personnel on all inmates as part of the admission process to a prison. The authors describe the results of a study that included data from all 50 state departments of corrections regarding prison mental health screening and evaluation models. The vast majority of states appear to have adopted some variation of the most recognized guidelines and/or standards (e.g., American Psychiatric Association, National Commission on Correctional Health Care, American Public Health Association) concerning correctional health care systems. Results are also provided concerning the use of standardized psychological tests and informed consent issues.
当前惩教心理健康护理项目的国家标准和/或指南强调，在所有囚犯进入监狱的接纳过程中，应由合格人员对其进行各级心理健康筛查和评估的重要性。作者描述了一项研究的结果，该研究纳入了来自所有50个州惩教部门关于监狱心理健康筛查和评估模型的数据。绝大多数州似乎采用了关于惩教医疗系统的最知名指南和/或标准（如美国精神病学协会、惩教卫生保健全国委员会、美国公共卫生协会）的某种变体。还提供了关于标准化心理测试的使用和知情同意问题的结果。
