{"title":"Is a change in social competencies associated with a change in drug use and crime in substance-abusing offenders?

While social competencies mediated the BTC-subsequent drug use association, drug use did not mediate the BTC-subsequent social competencies association. The direction of the social competencies-offending relationship was more equivocal in that both progressions (from BTC to social competencies and from BTC to offending) were significant.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000These findings add to the evidence of the success of the Breaking the Cycle Demonstration Project in reducing drug use and offending by finding that improvements in social competencies among substance-abusing participants may be a critical step in reducing drug use. The route to reducing reoffending is not so dependent on a single pathway, although findings suggest that more attention should be paid to both changing and measuring social competencies in future interventions with substance-misusing offenders.","PeriodicalId":47362,"journal":{"name":"Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health","volume":"33 4","pages":"289-302"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9918352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Feasibility of the peer support programme was tested by (i) recording the number of cases identified and referred, (ii) pre- and post-evaluation of well-being, coping, and symptom severity of those supported and (iii) evaluating qualitatively the experience of the peer supporters and service users.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Thirty-five peer supporters identified 49 cases over 3 months. These cases showed significant improvement in well-being (<i>Z</i> −1.962; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.050) and reduction in symptom severity (<i>Z</i> −1.913; 0.056). There was a significant improvement in the peers supporters' self-esteem from pre- to post-training (<i>t</i> −3.31; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.002), improvement in their benevolence (<i>t</i> −4.37; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001) and a significant reduction in their negative attitudes to mental illness (<i>Z</i> −3.518; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001). A thematic model of peer support encompassed self-experienced benefits for the peer supporter, wider recognition of peer supporters in the prison, challenges to this kind of support, experience of training and visions for future work.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The peer support programme was experienced positively by the peer-supporters and supported. Common mental disorders, substance use and suicidality were recognised and appropriately referred. A full-scale evaluation of this promising programme is warranted.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47362,"journal":{"name":"Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health","volume":"33 4","pages":"229-242"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cbm.2287","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9919360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
