Global Prison Health Care Governance and Health Equity
The large and growing population of people who experience incarceration makes prison health an essential component of public health and a critical setting for reducing health inequities.

Addressing these health disparities requires effective governance and accountability for prison health care services, including delivery…

Injecting risk behaviours following treatment for hepatitis C virus infection among people who inject drugs
People who inject drugs in prison
In 2011, over 10.1 million people were held in prisons around the world. HIV prevalence is elevated in prison and this is due to the over representation of people who inject drugs (PWID). Yet HIV prevention programs for PWID are scarce in the prison setting. With a high proportion of drug users and few prevention programs, HIV transmission occurs and sometimes at an alarming rate. This commentary focuses primarily on drug users in prison; their r…
Incidence of primary hepatitis C infection and risk factors for transmission in an Australian prisoner cohort
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is common in prisoner populations, particularly those with a history of injecting drug use (IDU). Previous studies of HCV incidence have been based on small case numbers and have not distinguished risk events in prison from those in the community. HCV incidence was examined in a longitudinal cohort of 488 Australian prisoners with a history of IDU and documented to be seronegative within 12 months prior to enrolm…

The mean doma…
Comparing Modes of Instruction
For many faculty members, the move by universities toward greater reliance on online and hybrid courses raises questions of course content and quality. Many faculty, socialized to deliver information to students in a manner described as “chalk and talk,” wonder whether moving courses out into the online environment somehow compromises the education students receive. In fact, there is a small but growing body of information in political science an…

Perceptions of substance use, treatment options and training needs among Iranian primary care physicians
In order to be optimally effective, continuing training programmes for health-care professionals need to be tailored so that they target specific knowledge deficits, both in terms of topic content and appropriate intervention strategies. A first step in designing tailored treatment programmes is to identify the characteristics of the relevant health-care professional group, their current levels of content and treatment knowledge, the estimated pr…

Yet, this research does not address the question of evo lutionary change among women state legislators themselves. Are women serving in contemporary state legislatures different from their female col leagues of previo…

Sexual behaviour of injecting drug users and associated risks of HIV infection for Non-injecting sexual partners
The sexual behaviour of 142 clients of syringe-exchange schemes was measured using a questionnaire interview based survey method. Two to four months later the questionnaire was repeated to provide measures of behavioural change. The majority of these clients were sexually active, 77% having one or more sexual partners in the 3 months prior to the first interview. Many of these clients (46% of those sexually active) had sexual partners who did not…
Drug Injecting and Syringe Sharing in Custody and in the Community
In an exploratory study of HIV risk behaviour and custodial experiences, 183 injecting drug users were interviewed in twelve cities in England, Scotland and Wales. Custodial experience was common (79% in custody at some time), recent (58% in custody since 1987), and sentences were short (for 64% the most recent period of custody lasted one month or less). Injecting during last period in custody was reported by 23%, and 75% of those who injected i…

Further information was gathered about the experiences of those who were HIV positive or assumed to be. Most were accommo…
