This study adds epidemiological weight to the implementation of health maintenance strategies and risk management procedures to reduce the risk of violent outcomes in individuals with mental health disorders (specifically, substance use disorder, psychosis, and ‘personality disorders’). The findings highlight how experiences of victimisation and perpetration are more often comorbid, with experiences of both victimisation and perpetration more common than an experience of only one of the outcomes.

This review summarises the key barriers and facilitators to help achieve this. It also highlights some of the conflicting priorities that CYP mental health services currently face between these identified facilitators and barriers (e.g., high service demands and prioritising innovation).
Additionally, this review emphasises the need to learn and use implementation strategies within CYP mental health settings in order to test and trial these methods and understand the effects within local and individual contexts.
