Summary: 'The current study determined the prevalence rates of mental disorders among women offenders currently in custody in CSC facilities. Women in custody were approached to participate in the diagnostic interview from February 2016 to October 2016. In total, 154 women in six institutions from across the five regions provided consent and were included in the study. The results from the study parallel the findings from international and other Canadian studies. In combination with their relatively small numbers dispersed across the country in six different institutions and five different regions, these high rates of disorder constitute a significant challenge in providing mental health treatment programs to these vulnerable women'--Executive summary, p. iii.
