摘要：

In this commentary, we discuss the main findings of the research study by Gunter et aL, "The Frequency of Mental Health and Addictive Disorders Among 320 Men and Women Entering the Iowa Prison System: Use of the MINI-PLUS." This commentary provides an overview on the use of standardized assessments with prison populations; prevalence rates of mental and addictive disorders within prisons; substance use disorders, as opposed to substance-induced psychiatric disorders, among prison populations; and research on diversion treatment programs within the community for nonviolent mentally ill and substance-using offenders.
