Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Previous research has highlighted excess health morbidity in offender populations. A small number of studies have described health problems within police custody settings. The efficacy of police screening procedures has not been evaluated. METHODS:Prospective clinical interviews with custody detainees in London were conducted. Clinical findings were compared with those recorded in police health screening documentation. RESULTS:High levels of health morbidity were observed. The sensitivity and specificity of the current screen with respect to its ability to trigger a call for a health-care professional (HCP), regardless of the reason, was 70 and 66%, respectively. Fifty-one percent of the detainees with asthma, 36% with diabetes mellitus and 40% with epilepsy were not picked up by the screen. Fewer than one-half of the detainees at risk of alcohol withdrawal syndrome had 'alcohol' documented on their screen, although 81% saw the HCP. The police screen missed heroin use in 28% and crack cocaine use in 68% of users. A HCP was called in 84 and 64% of the cases, respectively, for any reason. Two of the 12 detainees (17%) who described a head injury with serious-associated symptoms were detected; 9 had a HCP called for any reason. Whereas mental disturbance was detected in 79% of the detainees with serious mental illness, one-third of the detainees with a risk history of suicide and one-half of the detainees with suicidal ideation were not documented as such on the police screen. CONCLUSION:Given the amounts of morbidity and the need for reliable triage, improvement in the health screening procedures used by the police is needed.
