The impact of incarceration on health
Health outcomes for people released from incarceration are often poor, but it is unclear to what extent these poor outcomes are a result of incarceration or are a consequence of pre-existing morbidity and health risk. We synthesised published evidence regarding the impact of incarceration on physical and mental health. We searched five electronic databases (PsycINFO, CINAHL Complete, Medline, EMBASE, and Campbell Collaboration) for primary resear…
Physical multimorbidity, concurrent psychiatric morbidity, and emergency department presentation among adults released from prison
BACKGROUND: People released from prison have elevated rates of physical and psychiatric morbidity, and emergency department (ED) presentation when compared with the general population. However, little is known about the specific health concerns that are associated with these high rates of ED presentation. The aims of this study were to (a) ascertain the prevalence of multimorbidity (physical multimorbidity and concurrent psychiatric morbidity) in…
Mental disorders and discrimination
Our findings show that the association between mental disorder and discrimination is at least partially explained by unmeasured familial factors. Designing family-based healthcare models and incorporating family members in interventions targeted at ameliorating mental ill-health and experiences of discrimination among adolescents may improve efficacy

Health outcomes and service use patterns associated with co‐located outpatient mental health care and alcohol and other drug specialist treatment
Violence‐related morbidity among people released from prison in Australia
Circumstances and toxicology of violence-related deaths among young people who have had contact with the youth justice system
Therapeutic alcohol and other drug programs, both in the community and detention, are likely important for reducing violence-related deaths among young people who have had contact with the youth justice system. The majority of violence-related deaths among women were in the context of intimate partner violence, indicating the urgent need for interventions that prevent intimate partner violence in this population. Diversion programs and increased …
Prisons and custodial settings are part of a comprehensive response to Covid-19
Prisons are epicentres for infectious diseases because of the higher background prevalence of infection, the higher levels of risk factors for infection, the unavoidable close contact in often overcrowded, poorly ventilated, and unsanitary facilities, and the poor access to health-care services relative to that in community settings.1 Infections can be transmitted between prisoners, staff and visitors, between prisons through transfers and staff …
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. People who experience incarceration have a high burden of physical and mental health care needs and have poor health outcomes. Addressing these health disparities requires effective governance and accountability for prison health care services, including delivery…
The Nature and Cost of Readmissions after Work-Related Traumatic Spinal Injuries in New South Wales, Australia
This study aimed to measure the subsequent health and health service cost burden of a cohort of workers hospitalised after sustaining work-related traumatic spinal injuries (TSI) across New South Wales, Australia. A record-linkage study (June 2013-June 2016) of hospitalised cases of work-related spinal injury (ICD10-AM code U73.0 or workers compensation) was conducted. Of the 824 individuals injured during this time, 740 had sufficient follow-up …
Self-harm and suicidal behaviour among incarcerated adults in the Australian Capital Territory
BACKGROUND: Suicide is the leading cause of death in prisons worldwide. Improved understanding of the factors associated with suicide is necessary to inform targeted suicide prevention and interventions. Here we aim to (a) document the prevalence of suicide attempts, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and mental disorder; and (b) identify demographic, mental health, and criminal justice correlates of suicidal ideation, in a sample of incarcerated adul…
Social Environment and Hospitalisation after Release from Prison
This study examined the association between remoteness and area disadvantage, and the rate of subsequent hospitalisation, in a cohort of adults released from prisons in Queensland. A baseline survey of 1267 adult prisoners within 6 weeks of expected release was prospectively linked with hospital, mortality and reincarceration records. Postcodes were used to assign remoteness and area disadvantage categories. Multivariate Andersen-Gill regression …
Incidence and correlates of hepatitis C virus infection in a large cohort of prisoners who have injected drugs
Injecting drugs in prison was strongly associated with HCV seropositivity, highlighting the need for increased provision of services to mitigate the risk of transmission within prisons. Once identified as seropositive through screening, people with a history of IDU and incarceration may not be promptly receiving diagnostic services, which are necessary if they are to access treatment. Improving access to HCV-related services will be of particular…

Disease, Social Causation
Social causation of disease is defined as the origin of illness that results from social conditions and social interactions. This definition assumes that human biological factors are not the sole cause of disease. The definition further assumes that social factors such as socioeconomic status (SES), religion, and social networks have an effect on the level and severity of illness and mortality. The idea that social interaction and culture play pa…
Illness behaviour
Sociologists have researched the subject of illness behaviour for more than five decades. Recently the discussion has taken on new importance because of changes in the delivery of health care and the emergence of patients’ rights and increased patient knowledge of medicine. Through a selective review of the literature on illness behaviour, the paper aims to show that singular and segmented approaches to illness behaviour have not clearly elucidat…

Estimating an individual's risk of having a fetus with open spina bifida and the value of repeat alpha-fetoprotein testing
Data from the United Kingdom Collaborative Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) Study were used to estimate an individual woman's risk of having a fetus with an open neural tube defect based on her particular maternal serum or amniotic fluid AFP concentration, and also to indicate the value of obtaining fresh specimens for repeat AFP testing. This was done by first showing that the AFP distribution adequately fitted a log Gaussian distribution and then estima…
