For each case, two age- and sex-matched controls with no diagnosis of psychosis were selected. Criminal convictions were identified using the NSW Reoffending Database. Cases were approximately 5 times more likely to offend compared with controls, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 4.68, 95% confidence interval (CI) = [4.55, 4.81], and accounted for 10% of all criminal convictions in NSW between 2001 and 2015. The prevalence of at least one criminal conviction was 30% among cases compared with 6% among controls. The results from this study confirm previous work regarding the association between psychosis and criminal convictions. More work is needed to better articulate the mechanisms for this association to enable prevention strategies to be developed.]]> Wed 10 Aug 2022 11:22:13 AEST ]]> Association between early contact with mental health services after an offense and reoffending in individuals diagnosed with psychosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38394 Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:47:23 AEDT ]]>
