Headline: |
Report finds that whilst some interventions targeted at mental health populations to reduce violence are well supported by the evidence a scattergun approach in the research literature provides little firm evidence for the majority of interventions. Evidence shows small-to-moderate effects for cognitive behavioural therapy for psychological interventions, and larger effects for atypical antipsychotic drugs. |
