Abstract

Seclusion reduction or elimination is a global priority. Women in forensic mental health settings are a minority with most research in this area focused on men. Incarceration of women is increasing worldwide, with increases reflected in forensic mental health settings. With more women requiring forensic care, coupled with the need for seclusion reduction/elimination, research is needed to enhance understanding of modifiable factors associated with seclusion to inform sex specific approaches for seclusion reduction. This presentation reports findings of a retrospective study to identify factors associated with seclusion use for women in an Australian secure forensic mental health setting.
