Young Adults with Behavioral Health Services and Justice System Involvement

Abstract

Communimetrics highlights the team approach to sharing a vision and its goals via communication, while psychometrics focuses on efforts to identify, measure, and interpret psychological attributes and characteristics. I utilized ANSA data to identify unobserved subgroups and detect the intersectionality of dual system involvement (e.g., mental health and the criminal justice system), demographic characteristics, behavioral health needs, and race/ethnicity. Such intersectionality could be critical in the team process to assist and strengthen person-centered mental health recovery. I will also discuss the practical implications of critical factors associated with their behavioral health recovery to develop the outcome-oriented intervention.
