Improving Oral Health in Prisons (PriOH): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Improving Oral Health in Prisons (PriOH): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Recruiting participants who were already serving time in prison was done by a dental staff or prison officer approaching eligible inmates (Table 1) and informing them about this study. For new inmates arriving at the prisons, recruitment became embedded on their first day of entry, because they were informed about study participation by prison staff while learning about the prison’s procedures and drills.

The Use of a Digital Well-Being App (Stay Strong App) With Indigenous People in Prison: Randomized Controlled Trial

The Use of a Digital Well-Being App (Stay Strong App) With Indigenous People in Prison: Randomized Controlled Trial

Clients were provided with 2 copies of their client cards, one for use while in prison and one for their prison property, which would become available to them upon release from prison. Each client card had a summary of the SSA, including professional supports and contact details. The laminated cards were folded in a way that allowed clients to display their support network, or “people who help me are,” in their prison cells (Figure 2). The Stay Strong app custody client card (step 11).

Intramural Health Care Through Video Consultations and the Need for Referrals and Hospital Admissions: Retrospective Quantitative Subanalysis of an Evaluation Study

Intramural Health Care Through Video Consultations and the Need for Referrals and Hospital Admissions: Retrospective Quantitative Subanalysis of an Evaluation Study

Outside of these consultation hours, prison nursing staff could reach the on-call VC-family physician 24 hours 7 days per week. These patient-physician-contacts outside of consultation hours were counted as unscheduled consultations. Depending on the time of contact, there was not always a trained nurse present in prison. If the on-call family physician required help regarding a psychiatric problem, he or she could contact a VC psychiatrist.

Design Preferences for a Serious Game–Based Cognitive Assessment of Older Adults in Prison: Thematic Analysis

Design Preferences for a Serious Game–Based Cognitive Assessment of Older Adults in Prison: Thematic Analysis

One area of particular concern for older adults in prison is age-related cognitive decline. There is evidence indicating that cognitive deficits are considerably underdetected in prison environments [23], and when they are detected, they are often managed informally or inadequately [24,25].

Synthetic Cannabinoids in Prisons: Content Analysis of TikToks

After manual annotation, 41% (n=37) of Tik Toks/videos reviewed were determined to be nonsignal, 40% (n=36) were confirmed to include content displaying the use, solicitation, or adverse effects of K2/Spice among the prison population, and 18% (n=16) included synthetic cannabinoid–related content among nonprison populations.

Using the Stay Strong App for the Well-being of Indigenous Australian Prisoners: Feasibility Study

Using the Stay Strong App for the Well-being of Indigenous Australian Prisoners: Feasibility Study

As a breakdown of the overall prison population, Indigenous women constitute 36% of the female prisoner population and Indigenous men constitute 28.9% of the male prisoner population [17,18]. The gap between mental health and well-being needs and resources is at its most marked for Indigenous people in prison [19]. It is estimated that in Australia, the 12-month prevalence of mental disorders in Indigenous women in prison is 86% and in Indigenous men in prison is 73% (including substance use disorders).

PriSUD-Nordic—Diagnosing and Treating Substance Use Disorders in the Prison Population: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

PriSUD-Nordic—Diagnosing and Treating Substance Use Disorders in the Prison Population: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Advancing our knowledge of traditionally marginalized and understudied groups, such as people with SUD in prison, is essential to understanding social disparities in health. In addition, this is a precondition for planning the most appropriate interventions among people with SUD in prison. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the public health importance of imprisonment is insufficiently recognized [12].
