Not to my knowledge. We did an implementation study but not an effect study Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device Anne Crocker, Ph.D. -----Original Message----- From: Louise Hjort Nielsen <Louise.Hjort.Nielsen@xxxxxxxx> Sender: "startgroup-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <startgroup-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2010 05:12:21 To: 'startgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'<startgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: "startgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <startgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [startgroup] Documentation of the START Hi all, Do any of you know of any published studies documenting that the implementation of the START has had an effect on reducing violence and/or aggression on forensic wards? I am aware of the research presented in the START manual, but is anything published available on actual violence-reducing effects after implementing the START? This is the sort of study we are initiating here in Denmark and any available literature is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time - have a great weekend.
