本研究通过人口统计学特征、不良生活经历和犯罪、吸毒和酗酒史，对安大略（加拿大）监狱样本中报告既往创伤性脑损伤（TBI）的男性和女性比例进行了研究。使用加拿大药物滥用成本研究的数据，该研究基于四个安大略监狱的随机样本，这项研究发现，50.4%的男性和38%的女性报告以前的TBI。女性在首次犯罪前发生的创伤性脑损伤多于男性。与TBI的妇女经历了更多的早期身体和性虐待比那些没有TBI。此外，这项研究表明，有TBI病史的人，特别是妇女，早期生活经历的患病率很高。囚犯和监狱工作人员应接受关于创伤性脑损伤和创伤性脑损伤康复最佳做法的教育。
This study examined the proportion of men and women reporting previous traumatic brain injury (TBI) in an Ontario (Canada) prison sample by demographic characteristics; adverse life experiences; and criminal, drug, and alcohol use history. Using data from The Cost of Substance Abuse in Canada study based on a random sample from four Ontario prisons, this study found 50.4% of males and 38% of females reporting previous TBI. More TBIs occurred before the first crime for women than for men. Women with TBI experienced more early physical and sexual abuse than those without TBI. Additionally, this study shows high prevalence of early life experiences among persons, particularly women, with a history of TBI. Prisoners and prison staff should be educated on TBI and best practice for rehabilitation of TBI.
