This article profiles self-reported substance use, health, and mental health problems among a sample of incarcerated women in Kentucky as well as lifetime service utilization. Findings indicate that a high percentage of women reported use of alcohol, cocaine, and multiple substances during the month before incarceration. In addition, participants reported common health problems such as dental, female reproductive, physical injuries, and mental health problems including depression and anxiety. Participants reported moderate use of emergency room and mental health treatment but limited substance abuse treatment utilization. Implications for criminal justice programs and linkages with community-based aftercare services for women are recommended based on findings that health and mental health problems are associated with service utilization before incarceration.
本文介绍了肯塔基州被监禁女性样本中自我报告的物质使用情况、健康问题和心理健康问题以及终身服务利用情况。研究结果表明，很大比例的女性报告在入狱前一个月使用过酒精、可卡因和多种物质。此外，参与者报告了常见的健康问题，如牙齿问题、女性生殖问题、身体损伤，以及包括抑郁和焦虑在内的心理健康问题。参与者报告称适度使用急诊室和心理健康治疗，但物质滥用治疗的利用率有限。基于健康和心理健康问题与入狱前服务利用相关的研究结果，建议针对刑事司法项目以及与女性社区后续护理服务的联系提出相关建议。
