50-state survey compares competency-restoration approaches nationwide
A National Research Institute survey, affiliated with NASMHPD, profiled how each of the 50 states structures its competency-restoration system — inpatient state hospital, community-based, or jail-based — providing a key reference dataset for comparing state approaches nationally.
The profile offers useful context for nearly every state-specific restoration story in this backfill, from Utah's and North Carolina's jail-based programs to Iowa's and New Mexico's new outpatient options, by showing where each state started from before its more recent reforms.
