Jackson's Indiana: state hospital competence restoration in Indiana.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Restoration to competence (RTC) of mentally disordered defendants has become increasingly important for state hospitals. In Indiana, most RTC admissions are sent to one primarily forensic state hospital, but many are admitted to other state hospitals. A state database of defendants admitted for RTC between 1988 and 2005 was analyzed for trends in annual admissions, length of stay (LOS), and success of restoration by hospital and by diagnostic category. Regression models were developed to identify factors associated with RTC success. Analysis of 1,475 RTC admissions showed increased annual admissions over the study period. While the forensic hospital restored a higher percentage of individuals than the other state hospitals, the percentage of RTC success decreased over time in all hospitals. Admission to the forensic hospital, female gender, and mood disorder diagnosis were associated with increased restoration success. Older age and psychotic disorder or mental retardation diagnoses were associated with decreased likelihood of restoration. Race was not significantly associated with RTC at six months, but white defendants were less likely to be restored within one year.
