The health of people ever incarcerated in New York City (NYC) jails during 2001 to 2005 was characterized by matching jail, shelter, mortality, sexually transmitted infection, HIV, and tuberculosis (TB) data from the NYC Departments of Health and Mental Hygiene, Correction, and Homeless Services. Compared with nonincarcerated people and those living in the lowest income NYC neighborhoods, those ever incarcerated had higher HIV prevalence and HIV case rates. Ever-incarcerated females also had higher rates of gonorrhea and syphilis than nonincarcerated females. Ever-incarcerated people who used the single adult homeless shelter system had higher HIV, gonorrhea, and TB case rates and all-cause mortality rates than ever-incarcerated people without shelter use, when adjusting for other variables. People ever incarcerated in NYC jails are at risk for conditions of public health importance. Sex-specific jail- and community-based interventions are needed.

Background The persistent incidence of HIV among people who inject drugs (PWID) underscores the urgency for HIV prevention efforts to end the HIV epidemic. Little is known about the role carceral settings play as touchpoints for HIV testing in this population. Methods Secondary analysis of cross-sectional survey data of PWID in the Boston metro area from the 2015 and 2018 cycles of the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS).

From the first COVID-19 case detected through March 25, 2022, 66,684 of 196,652 residents of California's state prison system were infected, most of them in two large winter waves of outbreaks that reached all 35 of the state prisons. We used individual-level data on disease timing and nightly room assignments in these prisons to reconstruct locations and pathways of transmission statistically, and from that estimated reproduction numbers, locations of unobserved infection events, and the subsequent magnitude and distribution of long COVID prevalence.

Adverse Childhood Experiences: Increased Likelihood Of Socioeconomic Disadvantages For Young Adults.

More than 60 percent of US adults report that they had adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). For this study of 930,000 children born during the period 1999-2003, we used linked administrative, survey, and criminal justice data to measure the association between ACEs (parental death; separation; incarceration; or criminal charge for intimate partner violence, substance use disorder, or child sexual or nonsexual abuse) and socioeconomic disadvantages at ages 18-22 during 2017-21. After childhood socioeconomic status was controlled for, young adults with ACEs were more likely to have been charged with felonies, have become teenage parents, live in a household with poverty or housing assistance, be enrolled in Medicaid, and be employed, and were less likely to be enrolled in an educational institution.

Background: While the United States has the highest incarceration rate worldwide, at nearly 1% of the adult population (more than 2 million people), insights regarding health disparities in this population remain limited. This retrospective cohort study represents the largest national database analysis of incarcerated trauma patients to date and investigates whether incarceration status is an independent risk factor for poor outcomes after trauma for US adults.
Methods: We analyzed data from the National Trauma Data Bank from 2017 to 2018.
