Abstract

Factors such as structural racism and disinvestment in community mental health and social services have resulted in harmful interactions between law enforcement and individuals experiencing mental health crises. These harms are even more prevalent among racial and ethnic minorities, sexual and gender minorities, and individuals with a mental illness. Nationwide, municipalities are exploring ways to ameliorate the harms experienced during these interactions, with some implementing alternative crisis response units. In Durham, North Carolina, we conducted interviews with staff of one such program to better understand what aids and prevents successful program implementation. Participants reported that buy-in from program partners such as other first responders as well as from the broader community facilitated program operations. Barriers disclosed included inadequate funding of local social services and changing policies and procedures.

实施非武装第一响应者方案；以程序视角为中心进行优化。

结构性种族主义以及对社区心理健康和社会服务的投资减少等因素导致执法部门与经历心理健康危机的个人之间产生有害的相互作用。这些伤害在种族和少数民族、性和性别少数群体以及患有精神疾病的个人中更为普遍。在全国范围内，市政当局正在探索如何减轻在这些互动中所经历的危害，其中一些正在实施替代危机应对单位。在北卡罗来纳州的达勒姆，我们采访了其中一个项目的工作人员，以更好地了解是什么帮助和阻碍了项目的成功实施。与会者报告说，方案合作伙伴（如其他急救人员）以及更广泛的社区的支持促进了方案的运作。披露的障碍包括地方社会服务资金不足以及政策和程序不断变化。

期刊介绍： Behavioral Medicine is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, which fosters and promotes the exchange of knowledge and the advancement of theory in the field of behavioral medicine, including but not limited to understandings of disease prevention, health promotion, health disparities, identification of health risk factors, and interventions designed to reduce health risks, ameliorate health disparities, enhancing all aspects of health. The journal seeks to advance knowledge and theory in these domains in all segments of the population and across the lifespan, in local, national, and global contexts, and with an emphasis on the synergies that exist between biological, psychological, psychosocial, and structural factors as they related to these areas of study and across health states. Behavioral Medicine publishes original empirical studies (experimental and observational research studies, quantitative and qualitative studies, evaluation studies) as well as clinical/case studies. The journal also publishes review articles, which provide systematic evaluations of the literature and propose alternative and innovative theoretical paradigms, as well as brief reports and responses to articles previously published in Behavioral Medicine.
