虽然关于监禁与健康之间关系的文献越来越多，但很少有研究将刑事司法系统参与和健康的调查扩大到包括更常见的逮捕干预。本研究采用准实验设计来评估非裔美国人在青年时期被捕对其中年健康行为的长期影响。我们使用倾向评分匹配方法和针对性别的多元回归分析，将Woodlawn队列的子样本（n = 683）中有和没有在青年时期被捕的人等同起来，Woodlawn队列是一个非裔美国人社区队列，从童年一直跟踪到中年。研究结果表明，对于男性来说，在青年时期被捕对其吸烟、日常饮酒和危险的性行为有直接影响，而对于女性来说，在青年时期被捕似乎不会影响其中年健康风险行为。这项研究将健康风险行为添加到越来越多的有害后果清单中，如犯罪、吸毒、教育和心理健康，这些都与非裔美国人的刑事司法联系有关，特别是。
While there is a growing literature on the relationship between incarceration and health, few studies have expanded the investigation of criminal justice system involvement and health to include the more common intervention of arrest. This study uses a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the long-term effect of arrest in young adulthood on health behaviors in midlife for African Americans. We use propensity score matching methods and gender-specific multivariate regression analyses to equate those who did and did not incur an arrest in young adulthood from a subsample (n = 683) of the Woodlawn cohort, an African American community cohort followed from childhood into midlife. The results suggest that, for men, having been arrested in young adulthood has a direct effect on smoking, daily drinking, and risky sexual behaviors into midlife while young adult arrest does not seem to impact midlife health risk behaviors for women. This study adds health risk behaviors to the growing list of detrimental outcomes, such as crime, drug use, education, and mental health that are related to criminal justice contact for African American men, in particular.
