“…Inmates of jails (at least large, urban jails) have rates of schizophrenia, major depression, and bi-polar disorder 2±3 times higher than the general population (Teplin, 1990). In Ohio, site of the present study, a 1987 study of mental disorder among state prison inmates found that 12% had serious psychiatric disorders, while 22% had psychiatric disorders at some time in their lives (Bean, Meirson, Pinta, & Melvin, 1988).

This paper provides results of a longitudinal study of 27 mentally ill prison inmates who were released from Ohio state prisons in 1994–1996. The object of this paper is to test the hypothesis that subjects who receive better social support will experience more positive social adjustment, higher quality of life, and lower recidivism. Subjects, identified by prison staff, were interviewed and given independent psychological evaluations shortly before their release. They were then interviewed repeatedly during the first year after their release from prison about many aspects of social adjustment. Social support, provided both in and after release from prison, was associated with higher quality of life after release from prison. Social support provided in either context, however, was not significantly related to criminal recidivism or psychiatric hospitalization after release from prison. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…A total of 13 questions were used to measure peer behavior, all of which were drawn from work previously conducted by Stiffman, Dore, Cunningham, and Earls (1995) and Baker, Jodrey, Intagliata, and Straus (1993). The 13 questions were used to create three subscales: positive peer behavior (r = .58), negative peer behavior (r = .83), and peer substance use (r = .83).…”

Childhood sexual abuse is often associated with a number of deleterious psychological and behavioural outcomes for survivors. However, some research suggests that this impact is variable and that some survivors adapt positively. An ability to adapt positively to adversity, under any circumstances, has been termed resilience. Drawing on a socio-ecological understanding of resilience, the aim of this scoping review was to comprehensively map existing empirical studies on resilience processes in sexually abused adolescent girls and to summarise emerging resilience-enabling factors. We also considered the implications of the findings for practice and research. A total of 11 articles met the criteria for inclusion in the review. Findings from these studies suggest that internal factors (meaning making, optimistic future orientation, agency and mastery) and contextual factors (supportive family, social and educational environments) function interdependently to enable resilience in sexually abused adolescent girls. Practitioners should leverage these complementary and interdependent resilience-enabling mechanisms by encouraging greater involvement of girls in the planning of interventions and by assisting girls in developing meaningful narratives about their abuse experiences. Interventions should also encourage greater involvement from supportive structures, while challenging social and cultural norms that inhibit resilience. Resilience researchers should be cognisant of the paucity of research focusing on resilience processes in sexually abused adolescent girls as well as the absence of innovative, participatory methods of data collection. Significance: • The review adds to a body of literature on resilience processes with implications for resilience researchers. • The findings have implications for a range of practitioners (psychologists, social workers, teachers etc.) who work with sexually abused girls.

“…Models of services to this population have tended to be urban in design, however, and not specifically suited for the needs and resources of rural settings (Bachrach 1982). Baker and Intagliata (1984) reviewed case management and other community support services provided to persons with severe mental illness in rural and urban settings. They found that the range of community support services offered to rural and urban residents was about the same.…”

The rural community mental health center tends to serve a large geographic area, have decentralized service delivery, require its professionals to function as generalists, and coordinate closely with other agencies. The last decade has seen an increasing strain placed on this pattern. As block grant and fee-for-service shifts resulting from the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 took hold, the rural community mental health center was forced to step away from its role as a multiservice agency accessible for general community utilization and into a narrower role of service provider to the seriously impaired or those able to pay. In already underserved rural areas, this has generated immense challenges for mental health professionals to provide services to persons other than those with chronic mental illness. Successful alternatives and innovations are discussed, including linkages with primary care physicians and training indigenous residents to provide basic mental health services under professional supervision. Innovative rural prevention programs link parents and young children to child development professionals, build self-esteem in at-risk youth, respond to families affected by the farm crisis, and detect and prevent school adjustment problems. A literature review found few rural programs addressing the issues of substance abuse; services to women, children, the elderly, those with severe mental illness or developmental disabilities, and the homeless; or crisis intervention.
