We conducted a scoping review to define the extent and type of quantitative health status research conducted from 1993 to 2014 with people who have experienced detention or incarceration in correctional facilities in Canada.
We searched 15 databases, reviewed reference lists and relevant websites, and consulted with key stakeholders to identify eligible studies. We reviewed records for eligibility and extracted relevant data from eligible articles.
We identified 194 studies that were eligible for inclusion. Most studies were conducted with males and with persons in federal facilities, and focused on mental health, substance use, and social determinant of health outcomes.
Health status data are limited for several outcomes, such as chronic disease, injury and sexual and reproductive health, and for persons in provincial facilities and post-release. Efforts should be made to improve data collection and knowledge dissemination, so that relevant data can be used more effectively to improve health and health care in this population.
我们进行了一项范围综述,以确定1993年至2014年期间针对在加拿大惩教设施中被拘留或监禁人员开展的定量健康状况研究的范围和类型。
我们检索了15个数据库,查阅了参考文献列表和相关网站,并咨询了关键利益相关者以确定符合条件的研究。我们审查记录以确定其是否符合条件,并从符合条件的文章中提取相关数据。
我们确定了194项符合纳入条件的研究。大多数研究针对男性以及联邦设施中的人员,并且侧重于心理健康、物质使用和健康结果的社会决定因素。
对于诸如慢性病、伤害以及性健康和生殖健康等若干结果,以及省级设施中的人员和释放后的人员而言,健康状况数据有限。应努力改善数据收集和知识传播,以便能够更有效地利用相关数据来改善这一人群的健康和医疗保健状况。
