Jennifer Johnson on Mental Health Interventions for Justice System Involved People

Описание: In 2012, Dr. Jennifer Johnson conducted a randomized controlled trial of treatment for people with major depression in two Northeastern states. Despite thousands of such trials conducted in the community, Johnson’s small trial (n= 38) was the largest trial of any depression treatment (medication or psychosocial) to be conducted in an incarcerated setting. Dr. Johnson’s talk will review results from the 2012 trial and talk about the policy context of mental healthcare in correctional settings. She will also present new results from a large randomized controlled trial conducted in these two states: an effectiveness study of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for major depression in 180 men and women in prison. She will also discuss a potential new effort to create the Michigan Mental Health and Justice Center.
