Data linkage studies of primary care utilisation after release from prison: a scoping review.

Background: Primary care plays a central role in most, if not all, health care systems including the care of vulnerable populations such as people who have been incarcerated. Studies linking incarceration records to health care data can improve understanding about health care access following release from prison. This review maps evidence from data-linkage studies about primary care use after prison release.

Record linkage studies of primary care utilisation after release from prison: A scoping review protocol.

Introduction: There is a need to improve the implementation and provision of continuity of care between prison and community in order that people who have been in prison and have a history of low engagement with services or who are vulnerable receive appropriate and timely health care and treatment. Observational studies using record linkage have investigated continuity of care after release from prison but this type of research evidence has not been synthesised.

Objective: This paper presents a protocol designed to review record linkage studies about primary care utilisation after prison release in order to inform future research and guide service organisation and delivery towards people who are at-risk following release from prison.

Record linkage studies of drug-related deaths among adults who were released from prison to the community: a scoping review.

Background: There are public health concerns about an increased risk of mortality after release from prison. The objectives of this scoping review were to investigate, map and summarise evidence from record linkage studies about drug-related deaths among former adult prisoners.

Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO and Web of Science were searched for studies (January 2011- September 2021) using keywords/index headings.

Record linkage studies of drug-related deaths among former adult prisoners who have been released to the community: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Prisoners often have a complex mix of health and care needs including needs relating to mental and physical ill-health conditions. In addition, substance use disorders are common in prisoners. The transition between prison and community poses risks in terms of a disruption to treatment and care and a deterioration in health.

Experience of child welfare services and long-term adult mental health outcomes: a scoping review.

Purpose: This is the first comprehensive review of empirical research that investigated the association between receipt of child welfare services and adult mental health outcomes. The review summarised the results of studies about mental health outcomes of adults with a history of child welfare involvement.

Methods: A scoping review methodology was used to search five electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, IBSS, Social Policy and Practice).

Consanguineous Marriage and the Psychopathology of Progeny: A Population-wide Data Linkage Study.

Importance: Approximately 1 in 10 children worldwide are born to consanguineous parents. The literature on consanguinity and mental health of progeny is scarce despite the fact that many of the factors associated with consanguineous unions are also associated with mental health.

Objective: To investigate if children of consanguineous parents are at increased risk of common mood disorders or psychoses.

Does conurbation affect the risk of poor mental health? A population based record linkage study.

To determine if urban residence is associated with an increased risk of anxiety/depression independent of psychosocial stressors, concentrated disadvantage or selective migration between urban and rural areas, this population wide record-linkage study utilised data on receipt of prescription medication linked to area level indicators of conurbation and disadvantage. An urban/rural gradient in anxiolytic and antidepressant use was evident that was independent of variation in population composition. This gradient was most pronounced amongst disadvantaged areas.

Urban and rural differences in risk of admission to a care home: a census-based follow-up study.

Unlabelled: Research on admissions to care homes for older people has paid more attention to individual and social characteristics than to geographical factors. This paper considers rural-urban differences in household composition and admission rates.

Cohort: 51,619 people aged 65 years or older at the time of the 2001 Census and not living in a care home, drawn from a data linkage study based on c.

A Census-based longitudinal study of variations in survival amongst residents of nursing and residential homes in Northern Ireland.

Background: despite the intensive services provided to residents of care homes, information on death rates is not routinely available for this population in the UK.

Objective: to quantify mortality rates across the care home population of Northern Ireland, and assess variation by type of care home and resident characteristics.

Design: a prospective, Census-based cohort study, with 5-year follow-up.
