Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that both men and women had poorer health indicators (like psychosis and substance use) before incarceration, with women demonstrating a particularly high prevalence of self-harm and substance use compared to both their matched counterparts and men in the same group.
- * The findings highlight significant gender disparities in health prior to incarceration, suggesting a need for gender-responsive health strategies and a focus on social factors to address these systemic issues for both men and women.

The Stepping Stones Triple P Positive Parenting Program (SSTP) for parents of children with a DD has demonstrated effectiveness for improving parenting practices and reducing child behavior problems. However, there is scant research in Asian countries and with less intensive SSTP interventions.

Background: While the community effects of the opioid-related drug crisis in Canada are well documented, limited detailed data is available on overdose trends among custodial populations. Given that this crisis has disproportionate impacts on justice involved persons, research is needed to understand the implications of this crisis within institutional settings.
Methods: We examined all overdose incidents that occurred between the 2012/2013 and 2018/2019 fiscal years in a federal correctional institution in Canada.
Background: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a serious hidden health issue disproportionately affecting people who experience incarceration.
Objective: We examined the association between TBI and serious disciplinary charges among men and women sentenced by the courts to terms of two or more years.
Methods: The study originated in Ontario, Canada and used linked administrative health and correctional data.
