Title: Evaluation of the Salt Lake County Mental Health Court: Final Report
Summary: The Salt Lake County Mental Health Court (SLCo MHC) began operations in 2001. Althought originally accepting only misdemeanor level cases, in 2002 it expanded the acceptance criteria to include felony charges. This expansion occurred when the City Prosecutor was cross designated as a Deputy District Attorney, thereby granting him authority over both felony (State) and misdemeanor (City)cases. This process and outcome evaluation sought answers to the following questions: Who does the program serve?; What services are MHC participants utilizing during participation?; What is the structure of the MHC?; Is MHC succeeding?; Who has the best outcomes in MHC?; What program components and services lead to the best outcomes?; and How does the SLCo MHC compare to the mental health court model?
