摘要
Objective: A current estimate of prevalence rates of mental disorder among Canadian federal offenders is required to facilitate treatment delivery and service planning. Method: The study determined prevalence rates of major mental disorders among newly admitted male offenders entering the federal correctional system in Canada. Data were collected at each regional reception site on consecutive admissions for a 6-month period (N = 1110). Lifetime and current prevalence rates were estimated using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Axis I Disorders (SCID-I) and the SCID Axis II Disorders (SCID-II). Degree of impairment was estimated using the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale. Results were disaggregated by Aboriginal ancestry. Results: The national prevalence rate for any current mental disorder was 73%. The highest rates were for alcohol and substance use disorders; however, over half of participants met the lifetime criteria for a major mental disorder other than alcohol or substance use disorders or antisocial personality disorder. Thirty-eight percent met the criteria for both a current mental disorder and one of the substance use disorders. Fifty-seven percent of offenders with a current Axis I mental disorder were rated as experiencing minimal to moderate functional impairment based on the GAF, indicating that most participants do not require intensive psychiatric services. Conclusions: These results underscore the challenge posed to Canadian federal corrections in providing the necessary mental health services to assist in the management and rehabilitation of a significant percentage of the offender population with mental health needs. Objectif: Une estimation actuelle des taux de prevalence des troubles mentaux chez les detenus canadiens sous responsabilite federale est necessaire pour faciliter la prestation des traitements et la planification des services. Methode: L'etude a determine les taux de prevalence des troubles mentaux majeurs chez les detenus masculins nouvellement incarceres, entrant dans le systeme correctionnel federal du Canada. Les donnees ont ete recueillies a chaque centre regional de reception pour les admissions consecutives durant une periode de 6 mois (N = 1 110). Les taux de prevalence de duree de vie et actuels ont ete estimes a l'aide de l'entrevue clinique structuree pour les troubles de l'axe I du DSM (SCID-I) et de l'entrevue clinique structuree pour les troubles de l'axe II (SCID-II). Le degre d'incapacite a ete estime a l'aide de l'Echelle d'evaluation globale du fonctionnement (GAF). Les resultats ont ete desagreges par ascendance autochtone. Resultats: Le taux de prevalence national pour tout trouble mental actuel etait de 73%. Les taux les plus eleves etaient lies aux troubles d'utilisation de substances et d'alcool; toutefois, pres de la moitie des participants satisfaisaient aux criteres de duree de vie d'un trouble mental majeur autre que les troubles d'utilisation de substances et d'alcool ou que le trouble de la personnalite antisociale. Trente-huit pour cent satisfaisaient aux criteres tant d'un trouble mental actuel que d'un trouble d'utilisation de substances. Cinquante-sept pour cent des detenus souffrant d'un trouble mental actuel de l'axe I ont ete estimes presenter une incapacite fonctionnelle de minimale a moderee d'apres la GAF, indiquant que la majorite des participants ne necessitent pas de services psychiatriques intensifs. Conclusions: Ces resultats soulignent le probleme pose aux etablissements correctionnels federaux du Canada en ce qui concerne la prestation de services de sante mentale necessaires pour aider a la gestion et a la rehabilitation de la population des detenus ayant des besoins de sante mentale.
