How menopause symptoms shape experiences of the criminal legal system
Cervical cancer screening barriers and facilitators from the perspectives of women with a history of criminal-legal system involvement and substance use
Characterizing Aging-Related Health in Older Women with a History of Incarceration
Older women with criminal legal system involvement (CLSI) face aging-related challenges to health earlier and with fewer resources than other women. Few studies focus on their health status and aging-related health needs. Objective To characterize aging-related health in women with past CLSI and compare with women with no-CLSI. Method Health and Retirement Study Wave 11 and 12 data from women age >50 with CLSI were compared with data from women a…
Sex and aging
To explore perspectives on sexuality, sexual health, and sexual health care of older adult women with a history of criminal legal system involvement, we conducted phone interviews with women aged 50 years or older who were living in the community but had a history of jail and/or prison incarceration. Interview questions and initial analysis were guided by the sexual health framework for public health and Mitchell's sexual wellness model. Data ana…
Health and Health Service Needs
Objectives: We profiled the health and health services needs of a sample of older adult women (age 50+) with criminal-legal system (CLS) involvement and compared them with younger women (age 18-49), also CLS-involved. Methods : Using survey data collected from January to June 2020 from adult women with CLS involvement in three US cities, we profiled and compared the older adult women with younger women on behavioral and structural risk factors, h…
Recommendations for Delivering Covid-19 Vaccine in Jails
We report on data we collected from a 2018 survey examining jails’ human papillomavirus virus vaccine delivery capacity and on a secondary analysis we conducted to describe factors similarly associated with delivery planning for the COVID-19 vaccine. We provide recommendations for delivering the COVID-19 vaccine in jails, based on evidence from Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri. Our key finding is that jails have limited staff to implement vac…
Voter Registration and Jail-Incarcerated Women
Civic engagement, like the broader phenomenon of social engagement, seems out of keeping with the alienating ethos of incarceration. We sought to learn which demographic and contextual factors predicted one form of civic engagement, voter registration, in a jail-incarcerated female population. A 158-item survey was administered to 261 adult women incarcerated in three Midwestern jails, September 2014 to March 2016, as part of a parent interventio…
Feminism and bourdieusian social theory in a sexual health empowerment project with incarcerated and recently released women
Strategizing and Fatalizing
Jail admissions in the United States number nearly 1 million women annually. Many have limited access to public support and must seek assistance from family, friends, and strangers to maintain health and safety after release. This study sought to learn more about how women with a history of interpersonal trauma and criminal justice involvement perceive and manage social relationships. In-depth, story-eliciting interviews were conducted over 12 mo…
