There are more than 200,000 incarcerated women in U.S. prisons and jails, and it is estimated that 6% to 10% are pregnant. Pregnant incarcerated women experience complex risks that can compromise their health and the health of their offspring.
Identify lessons learned from a community-university pilot study of a prison-based pregnancy and parenting support program.
A community-university-corrections partnership was formed to provide education and support to pregnant incarcerated women through a prison-based pilot program. Evaluation data assessed women's physical and mental health concerns and satisfaction with the program. Between October 2011 and December 2012, 48 women participated.
We learned that providing services for pregnant incarcerated women requires an effective partnership with the Department of Corrections, adaptations to traditional community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches, and resources that support both direct service and ongoing evaluation.
Effective services for pregnant incarcerated women can be provided through a successful community- university-corrections partnership.
美国监狱和拘留所中有超过20万被监禁女性,据估计6%至10%的人处于孕期。怀孕的被监禁女性面临复杂风险,这些风险可能危及她们自身及后代的健康。
确定从一项针对基于监狱的怀孕与育儿支持项目的社区 - 大学试点研究中吸取的经验教训。
建立了社区 - 大学 - 惩教机构合作伙伴关系,通过一个基于监狱的试点项目为怀孕的被监禁女性提供教育和支持。评估数据评估了女性的身心健康问题以及对该项目的满意度。在2011年10月至2012年12月期间,48名女性参与其中。
我们了解到,为怀孕的被监禁女性提供服务需要与惩教部建立有效的合作伙伴关系,对传统的基于社区的参与式研究(CBPR)方法进行调整,以及支持直接服务和持续评估的资源。
通过成功的社区 - 大学 - 惩教机构合作伙伴关系,可以为怀孕的被监禁女性提供有效的服务。
