A substantial proportion of adults in the U.S. criminal justice system are military veterans. Justice-involved veterans are of particular public concern given their service to the country and the high rates of health and social problems in the general veteran population. This article describes the development of a national research agenda for justice-involved veterans.
In the summer of 2022, the VA National Center on Homelessness among Veterans in partnership with the VA Veterans Justice Programs Office convened a national group of subject matter experts and stakeholders across three listening sessions that included 40-63 attendees per session. These sessions were recorded, and transcriptions of all sessions and chats were synthesized to generate a preliminary list of 41 agenda items. The Delphi method involving two rounds of ratings from subject matter experts was used to develop consensus.
The final research agenda consists of 22 items covering five domains: Epidemiology and knowledge of the population, treatment and services, systems and systems interface, methodology and research resources, and policies.
The intent of sharing this research agenda is to spur stakeholders to conduct, collaborate, and support further study in these areas.
美国刑事司法系统中有相当一部分成年人是退伍军人。参与司法的退伍军人尤其受到公众关注，因为他们曾为国家服务，而且普通退伍军人中存在较高的健康和社会问题发生率。本文介绍了制定一个针对参与司法的退伍军人的国家研究议程的过程。
2022 年夏天，VA 国家退伍军人无家可归问题中心与 VA 退伍军人司法项目办公室合作，召集了一组全国性的主题专家和利益相关者，在三次听取意见会议中，每次会议有 40-63 名与会者。这些会议都进行了记录，所有会议和聊天的记录都被综合起来，生成了一个初步的 41 项议程清单。德尔菲法涉及两轮主题专家的评分，用于达成共识。
最终的研究议程包括涵盖五个领域的 22 个项目：流行病学和人口知识、治疗和服务、系统和系统接口、方法和研究资源以及政策。
分享这份研究议程的目的是促使利益相关者在这些领域进行、合作和支持进一步的研究。
