By Baillargeon, Jacques

Description
Legal Reference Publication

Excerpt
Abstract: Objective: The study assessed correlates of anti-depressant medication compliance among Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) prison inmates. Methods: The study population consisted of 5,305 TDCJ inmates who were diagnosed with one of three depressive disorders: major depression, dysthymia, and bipolar disorder. The primary outcome measure under study was anti-depressant medication compliance. Information on medical conditions, socio-demographic factors, and medication compliance was obtained retrospectively from an institution-wide medical information system. Results: TDCJ inmates treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) did not exhibit improved medication compliance compared to those treated with tricyclic antidepressants TCAs. In fact, among inmates with all depressive disorders and bipolar disorders, those treated with TCAs exhibited greater compliance, even when adjusting for socio-demographic factors. Moreover, among inrnates with depressive disorders male gender, black race, and older age were positively associated with medication compliance scores.
