This qualitative study describes the perceived impact of sequential intercept mapping among community stakeholders.
Abstract
Sequential intercept mapping is an approach to address the overrepresentation of adults with mental illness in the criminal justice system. This approach follows the sequential intercept model, a nationally recognized framework that conceptualizes the linear movement of people with mental illness through the criminal justice system. During the sequential intercept mapping process, community stakeholders identify service and policy gaps and opportunities to address the needs of this target population. The current study concludes that sequential intercept mapping appears to be well-received by community stakeholders, with the potential to improve collaboration and improve community policy and practices.
