There is limited evidence examining health characteristics of people with psychosis in Australian criminal legal systems and how these vary with court outcomes, including diversion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a data-linkage study of 21,229 adults hospitalised with psychosis in New South Wales (June 2001 to December 2019) with a subsequent offence finalised in the New South Wales Local Court. We described psychosis types, co-occurring conditions and prior health service use and examined their associations with court outcome (diversion vs conviction) using logistic regression, adjusting for sociodemographic and legal factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 70.8% of participants had a schizophrenia spectrum disorder (substance-induced psychosis 22.6%; affective psychosis 6.6%). Co-occurring conditions were common (lifetime substance-related harm 84.8%; personality disorder 41.3%; neurodevelopmental disorder 17.5%; physical condition 25.6%), and 76.3% used mental health services in the year before the index offence. Affective and substance-induced psychoses were negatively associated with diversion vs schizophrenia spectrum disorders (adjusted odds ratios = 0.64 [95% confidence interval = 0.54\u20130.74] and 0.29 [95% confidence interval = 0.26\u20130.33], respectively). Duration of psychosis admissions and past-year mental health service use were positively associated with diversion, while in those with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, lifetime substance-related harm was negatively associated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Court defendants with psychosis have a complex health profile. Although people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders are more likely to be diverted than those with other psychosis types, substance use may inhibit diversion.
