本文描述了社区管理的犯罪者样本组如何参与一系列卫生服务。这是基于试点健康需求评估的结果，该评估涉及两个全县缓刑服务机构内 183 名罪犯的代表性样本。使用专门设计的结构化健康需求评估工具收集健康信息，并通过对缓刑工作者的探索性访谈进行补充。结果表明，社区罪犯比一般人群有更大的身心健康需求。发现了一些问题，特别是在参与牙科和心理健康服务方面。尽管许多参与者没有报告在获得服务方面有任何困难，但罪犯对卫生服务的参与程度似乎与他们可能的需求水平不相称。这对于为这一弱势群体规划卫生服务的 NHS 联合委托小组具有明显的影响。
This article describes how a sample group of community managed offenders engaged with a range of health services. This is based on the findings from a pilot health needs assessment involving a representative sample of 183 offenders within two county-wide probation services. Health information was collected using a specially designed structured health needs assessment tool and complemented by exploratory interviews with probation workers. The results indicated that community offenders were found to have greater physical and mental health needs than the general population. Some problems were identified, particularly in engaging with dental and mental health services. Although many participants did not report any difficulty in accessing services, it would appear that offenders' engagement with health services was incommensurate with their likely level of need. There are clear implications for NHS joint commissioning groups who plan health services for this vulnerable group.
