We evaluated the effectiveness of the Community Relapse Prevention and Maintenance (CRPM) program, developed by Correctional Service Canada to better meet the needs of women offenders with drug problems.
Using survival analysis, we investigated the association between exposure and nonexposure to CRPM and return to custody among a national sample of women offenders released from 1 of 6 federal institutions across Canada during the period May 1, 1998 to August 31, 2007.
After control for other risk factors, women who were not exposed to CRPM were 10 times more likely than were women exposed to CRPM to return to custody 1 year after release from prison, with more than a third returning to prison within the first 6 months.
Aftercare is a critical component of a woman's support system after she leaves prison. Strategies that improve access to community aftercare are imperative for improving the life chances and health of these women.
我们评估了加拿大惩教署开发的社区复发预防和维持（CRPM）计划的有效性，以更好地满足有药物问题的女性罪犯的需求。
使用生存分析，我们调查了在 1998 年 5 月 1 日至 2007 年 8 月 31 日期间，从加拿大 6 个联邦机构之一获释的全国女性罪犯样本中，接触和未接触 CRPM 与返回监禁之间的关联。
在控制了其他风险因素后，与接触过 CRPM 的女性相比，未接触过 CRPM 的女性在出狱后 1 年内返回监狱的可能性高出 10 倍，超过三分之一的人在头 6 个月内返回监狱。
出狱后的后续护理是女性支持系统的关键组成部分。改善获得社区后续护理的策略对于改善这些女性的生活机会和健康至关重要。
