Congratulations Kelsey!

Congratulations to Kelsey, who recently completed her honours project entitled “Characteristics and Outcomes of Unauthorized Leaves Among Patients in a Secure Forensic Psychiatric Hospital” under the supervision of Dr. Tonia Nicholls. This project investigated the prevalence and details of unauthorized leaves (UALs) among patients at the forensic psychiatric hospital from 2010-2020 through a review of electronic administrative data. The findings indicated low rates of UALs, with a decrease in UALs across the time period. She hopes to supplement the findings by expanding the study time period to determine when the decline in UALs began and conduct a review of clinical files to gain further insight into these UALs. Way to go, Kelsey!
