Despite elevated overdose risk in rural communities, rural/urban differences in overdose risk factors are understudied among women with criminal legal system involvement. This study examines substance use and overdose among incarcerated women.
Women (N = 900) were randomly selected from nine Kentucky jails, screened, and interviewed as part of a larger study. Bivariate analyses were used to identify group differences.
Rural women were less likely to report pre-incarceration overdose and to receive emergency services post-overdose. Substance use also varied.
Results underscore the importance of Opioid Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution in rural communities.
尽管农村社区药物过量风险较高,但在涉及刑事司法系统的女性中,药物过量风险因素的城乡差异研究不足。本研究调查了被监禁女性的药物使用情况和药物过量情况。
从肯塔基州的9所监狱中随机选取900名女性进行筛查和访谈,作为一项更大规模研究的一部分。采用双变量分析来确定组间差异。
农村女性报告入狱前药物过量及药物过量后接受紧急服务的可能性较低。药物使用情况也存在差异。
研究结果强调了在农村社区开展阿片类药物过量教育和纳洛酮分发的重要性。
