CONTEXTUAL DETERMINANTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A MENTAL HEALTH DIVERSION POLICY IN CALIFORNIA: LESSONS LEARNED FROM LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION PARTNERS.
— STAFF
A forensic psychiatrist practising in a California diversion county learns why the evaluation-and-treatment-plan oversight structure looks as it does and why county-to-county variation persists under a single statute, which is useful context for anyone writing diversion evaluations or advising a county programme. It does not change any obligation, and it produces no finding that alters what an evaluator can assert in a report; it is descriptive implementation research on a policy already in force.
