Clinical Trial Summary

The model of care for forensic psychiatry in Italy was changed by law (Law 81/2014) so that the six legacy secure forensic hospitals (Judicial Psychiatric Hospitals, OPG) were closed and new secure community residences for the execution of security measures (REMS) were opened in each of the 20 regions of Italy. This transition was in place by 2015. This observational study evaluates the health gains for patients both previously in OPGs and those admitted first to REMS. Health gains assessed include recovery measured by symptoms, function, need for therapeutic security and recovery of legal autonomy.


Clinical Trial Description

All those detained in REMS in the twelve month period 2019 to 2020 form the reference population. Samples are assessed for symptom severity (BPRS), global function (GAF), cognitive function (MMSE), risk and protective factors for violence (HCR-20, SAPROF), personality factors (PCL-R), measures of need for therapeutic security (DUNDRUM-1), treatment response relevant to violence and mental illness (DUNDRUM-3) and forensic recovery (DUNDRUM-4). Outcome measures include violent and challenging behaviour (MOAS), length of stay, conditional (legal) discharge. ;
