Exposure to Childhood Adversity and Intimate Partner Violence in a Sample of Incarcerated Women in Australia
Women who use violence represent one of the fastest growing groups within the Australian prisoner population, including Aboriginal women who are more likely to be incarcerated than non-Aboriginal women for violent crimes. Many incarcerated women report histories of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and intimate partner violence. This exploratory study examines baseline data from a sample of 167 women in 3 Western Australia women’s prisons enro…
Mental health disorders, adverse childhood experiences and accelerated reoffending among justice-involved youth in Australia
BACKGROUND: Mental health disorders and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are known risk factors for youth offending. However, most studies operationalize these factors as static and fail to distinguish between isolated reoffences and escalating patterns of criminal behaviour. The impact of mental health service engagement on interrupting cyclical, repetitive offending also remains unclear. METHODS: We linked offending records (1994-2022) and …
Criminal justice transitions among adolescents in Australia
This study aimed to identify key transitional pathways in the criminal justice system from adolescence to adulthood and the risk factors associated with the escalation of criminal justice involvement over time. We retrospectively linked offending records from 1994 to 2022 and mental health records from 2001 to 2022 for a cohort of 1556 adolescents identified through four health surveys in New South Wales, Australia. Transition probabilities were …
Disclosure of HIV status and associated clinical outcomes of children and adolescents living with HIV in Asia
Disclosure of HIV status is an important part of pediatric care. We studied disclosure and clinical outcomes in a multi-country Asian cohort of children and adolescents with HIV. Those 6-19 years of age who initiated combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) between 2008 and 2018, and who had at least one follow-up clinic visit were included. Data up to December 2019 were analyzed. Cox and competing risk regression analyses were used to assess th…
Pregnancy and birth outcomes among young women living with perinatally acquired HIV in Thailand and Vietnam
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of pregnancy and infant outcomes in 670 adolescents and young adult women with perinatally acquired HIV (AYAPHIV), aged 15–24 years, in Thailand and Vietnam. Between January 2013 and December 2018, there were 52 pregnancies, for an incidence of 2.49 (95% CI 1.90-3.27) per 100 person-years. The median age at pregnancy was 17.7 years (IQR 16.8-18.9). Pregnant AYAPHIV had been on cART for a lifetime median o…
Mental health service contact following release from prison or hospital discharge in those with psychosis
This study suggests that prior offending or a previous prison episode represents a barrier to mental health service contact in the community for those with a FDP. Effective rehabilitation planning while exiting prison and discharge planning from hospital are essential to the successful reintegration of these individuals with a FDP
Psychosis and Criminal Offending
This population-based case-control study examines the association between psychosis and criminal convictions in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, using data from several health and offending administrative data collections. Cases were individuals diagnosed with psychosis between 2001 and 2012 ( n = 86,461). For each case, two age- and sex-matched controls with no diagnosis of psychosis were selected. Criminal convictions were identified using the…
Poor quality of life among untreated Thai and Cambodian children without severe HIV symptoms
There are limited data on quality of life (QOL) 1 in untreated HIV-infected children who do not have severe HIV symptoms. Moreover, such data do not exist for Asian children. Poor QOL could be a factor in deciding if antiretroviral therapy (ART) should be initiated. Thai and Cambodian children (n=294), aged 1-11 years, naïve to ART, with mild to moderate HIV symptoms and CD4 15-24% were enrolled. Their caregivers completed the Pediatric AIDS Clin…
Meta‐analysis of drug‐related deaths soon after release from prison
Aims The transition from prison back into the community is particularly hazardous for drug‐using offenders whose tolerance for heroin has been reduced by imprisonment. Studies have indicated an increased risk of drug‐related death soon after release from prison, particularly in the first 2 weeks. For precise, up‐to‐date understanding of these risks, a meta‐analysis was conducted on the risk of drug‐related death in weeks 1 + 2 and 3 + 4 compared …
