We used weighted, between-group correlations using data from 19 JPOs implementing e-Connect to evaluate self-reported attitudes related to referral and linkage behaviors gathered via survey and administrative data on the service referral and initiation of 78 youths. Female officers were more likely to engage in placement activities (i.e., behaviors aimed at helping youths initiate care), and youths on their caseload were more likely to access BH care. Conversely, officers with more authoritarian attitudes toward supervision were significantly less likely to engage in placement activities. Even within a program found to increase referral 11-fold and linkage to treatment nearly 17-fold, some JPOs fail to make referrals and connect youths to care.

There was a negative correlation between job satisfaction and burnout and a negative correlation between job satisfaction and bullying. Burnout and bullying were found to be positively correlated. Many participants reported bullying in the workplace, describing multiple instances of unprofessional behavior by coworkers and supervisors. The themes of hostile work environments, poor relationships with supervisors, and low job satisfaction were identified as impacting nurses' desire to remain in their positions.

Overall, 27% of participants were uninsured, 66% had Medicaid insurance, and 21% lacked a usual place of care. In logistic regression models, adults released from custody within 6 months or who had high school or fewer years of education were significantly less likely to be insured. Increasing age and high school or fewer years of education, one to two chronic conditions, or a positive anxiety screener were significantly associated with having a usual source of care, whereas those recently returned to communities were less likely to have a usual source of care. Reliable transportation was significantly associated with a doctor visit in the past 6 months.

We conducted a scoping review of academic and gray literature. Two team members screened titles and abstracts and reviewed full texts for eligibility.

We categorized information on how TIC is implemented into structural, organizational, and individual levels, and organized evidence on the impacts of TIC into the Quintuple Aim for Health Care Improvement framework.
