Abstract:
A jail diversion program was implemented for offenders with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders (COD) in Lane County, Oregon. This paper discusses whether the program resulted in any sustained community service systems change. Interviewees were asked questions about any systems-level changes that interviewees were aware of in corrections, criminal justice, or treatment where offenders with COD were involved. Results showed evidence of system-level changes in corrections, criminal justice, and treatment that were attributed to various aspects of our "boundary spanning" jail diversion approach with the COD population. The researchers also interpreted the results as evidence of the efficacy of using research to promote change.
