Academic Health Center-Community Justice Program Partnerships: Linking Men in the Justice System to Health Care.

Background: Linkage to community health and social services after incarceration is often inadequate. This is troubling, because risk taking and poor health are common immediately after release, and access to health providers and insurance helps individuals to transition home.

Objectives: This article describes how faculty and clinicians at a large academic health center in New York City, established partnerships with justice programs to jointly develop services that aimed to increase health care access for men in the justice system.

Creating teachable moments: a clinic-based intervention to improve young men's sexual health.

A multicomponent health education intervention for men was integrated into initial visits at the Young Men's Clinic in New York City. In all, 157 predominantly low-income, Latino and African American patients completed pre- and post-test surveys to assess their sexual and reproductive health knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Paired t tests compared respondents' scores on outcome variables at baseline and follow-up.
