How local health departments use wastewater surveillance data for public health planning and intervention in New York State
Wastewater surveillance presents a novel data stream for local health departments to understand infectious disease risk in their communities. We conducted a survey of local health departments in New York State regarding their knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2. We further conducted in-depth interviews with a number of local health departments to identify specific use cases of wastewater surveillance d…

A Rehabilitative Justice Pathway for War-Traumatized Offenders Caught in the Military Misconduct Catch-22
The United States and Canada, among others, have recognized that 'misconduct stress behaviors' can be a 'hidden' by-product of war-zone deployments. The American military's paradigm of punishment over treatment creates a 'military misconduct Catch-22,' in which the service member's treatment need is identified as a result of, or only after, violations of military law. Civilian society then bears the justice, familial, and social costs of the mili…
Implementing Prison-based Treatment Programs
The “success” of a prison program can be defined, in part, as the ability to effectively reintegrate released offenders back into the community and secure reductions in criminal recidivism. This essay considers the challenges and issues involved in transferring the “what works” literature on potentially successful prison programs from research into practice. Implementation guidelines for prison programs are considered as well as the importance of…
US Veterans’ Court Programs
Moving Upstream
The cultural divide between US military and civilian institutions amplifies the consequences of military discharge status on public health and criminal justice systems in a manner that is invisible to a larger society. Prompt removal of problematic wounded warriors through retributive justice is more expedient than lengthy mental health treatment. Administrative and punitive discharges usually preclude Department of Veterans Affairs eligibility, …
Elderly Homeless Veterans in Los Angeles
Objectives. We compared the characteristics of chronically homeless and acutely homeless elderly veterans to better understand precipitants of homelessness. Methods. We conducted interviews with 33 chronically and 26 acutely homeless veterans aged 65 years and older receiving transitional housing services in Los Angeles, California, between 2003 and 2005. We asked questions regarding their sociodemographic characteristics and other social status …
Chronic Disease Management for Recently Homeless Veterans
BACKGROUND: Although vulnerable populations may benefit from in-home health information technologies (HIT) that promote disease self-management, there is a "digital divide" in which these groups are often unlikely to use such programs. We describe the early phases of applying and testing an existing Veterans Affairs (VA) HIT-care management program, Care Coordination Home Telehealth (CCHT), to recently homeless Veterans in the US Department of Ho…

Treatment-seeking for alcohol problems
The current study aimed to investigate the range of influences on people's decisions to seek alcohol treatment and develop a model of treatment-seeking based on participants’ accounts. Understanding these influences could inform clinical practice and aid development of effective motivational interventions for the majority of people with alcohol problems who avoid or delay seeking treatment. Individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted wi…

Violence Risk
Chichester : Wiley ( 2007 ) 202pp. £21.99pb ISBN 978-0-470-027500-9 The question of whether we can predict future violence or other criminal behaviour remains a highly controversial one in criminology and allied social sciences. There are philosophical debates concerning the nature of it as typifying a particular approach to knowledge construction, contending that the very attempt to accomplish it reflects a misguided epistemological stance. Ther…
Closing a Front Door to Homelessness among Veterans
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has been identified as a mainstream institution to help prevent homelessness among America's veterans. The large numbers of incarcerated veterans with serious mental illnesses and substance abuse disorders who are at risk for homelessness support the need for expanded VA outreach to this population. Since 2002, the VA has contacted almost 6,500 veterans in prison or jail. Its leadership role in affordi…
Minimising harm in violence risk assessment
Despite enjoying a higher level of safety from many dangers than that experienced in any previous historical epoch, there is widespread public concern in the world's richer societies over a series of other threats and risks. This paper focuses on the problem of personal violence and the development of a body of research designed to inform assessment of its likelihood in individual cases. The paper provides an overview of the evidence from researc…
Treatment outcome following day care for alcohol dependency
Because of the need to maximise treatment adherence and minimise costs, the duration of treatment for alcohol problems should not be longer than is necessary to achieve clinical benefit. The present authors have previously demonstrated the effectiveness of a 10-week outpatient treatment programme. In this paper, they evaluate the effects of reducing the length of the programme to 6 weeks by comparing the outcomes to those of the original programm…

Hoptel Equalizes Length of Stay for Homeless and Domiciled Inpatients
BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence that homeless individuals have longer inpatient lengths of stay with significantly higher medical costs than domiciled individuals. We compared adjusted mean lengths of stay among domiciled patients and homeless patients discharged to a hospital hotel (hoptel). Because the hoptel allowed homeless patients to be discharged when medically indicated, we hypothesized no significant differences in lengths of stay …
