A groundbreaking randomized trial conducted across 44 U.S. jails by Marcella Alsan, PhD, MD, of the Harvard Kennedy School, and Crystal Yang, PhD, JD, of Harvard Law School, finds that NCCHC accreditation significantly improves compliance with health care standards, reduces mortality, and lowers recidivism rates. In this webinar, Dr. Alsan and Dr. Yang will discuss their methodology, feedback from the jails in the study, and their findings. The authors conclude that NCCHC accreditation is a very cost-effective intervention, generating benefits that far outweigh the costs of the program.
