N2  - Malingering of psychiatric symptoms is a challenging, time-consuming and not uncommon behavior that mental health professionals need to assess, identify and manage effectively. This is particularly true for mental healthcare providers working in correctional settings. A literature search on available psychological tests and screening tools to detect malingering is presented, as well as specialized assessment techniques and ethical and legal implications of their use. A  proposed quality improvement project is also discussed, with emphasis on conducting a staff training and implementing the Miller Forensic Assessment of Symptoms Test (M-FAST) to improve detection of malingering and access to care for those with genuine mental health needs.
