Category: News
We are pleased to announce that an article by the EU-VIORMED group has been published in Psychiatric Research on September, 2024.
Aggression and violence are common day to day problems in psychiatric settings. However, the optimal means of assessing that risk remains unclear. In the context of that uncertainty many tools have evolved, among which the HCR-20 is one of the most globally accepted, though many questions remain about its performance, how and when it should be deployed and how it can be most effectively used. In this 12 month follow up study of 210 forensic psychiatric inpatients with a diagnosis of a schizophrenia spectrum disorder we explored these issues.
The article is available also as online content, please see: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychres.2024.116079
