目的：描述公共卫生硕士(MPH)学生和校友对新的健康公平和刑事司法(HECJ)集中度的兴趣，重点介绍他们在大规模监禁方面的个人经历，并总结他们对发展集中度的投入。方法：从2017年7月至10月，对加州图罗大学(加州瓦列霍)公共卫生硕士在校生和校友进行了电子调查。结果：152名受访者包括那些只专注于公共健康的人，以及那些同时获得骨科医学、药剂学或医生助理研究的临床学位的人。约90%的在校和毕业学生认为HECJ是公共卫生不可或缺的一部分，三分之一的受访者描述了自己受到监禁的影响。超过一半的受访者(%)对惩教中心的集中度感兴趣，其中81%的受访者有兴趣在惩教机构完成他们的实地考察实习。结论：HECJ集中度将填补教育空白，并可能为培训下一代公共卫生专业人员提供一种教学模式，以减轻美国大规模监禁疫情对健康的影响。
Purpose: To describe Master of Public Health (MPH) student and alumni interest in a new Health Equity and Criminal Justice (HECJ) concentration, highlight their personal experiences with mass incarceration, and summarize their input on developing the concentration. Methods: From July to October 2017 current MPH students and alumni at Touro University California (Vallejo, CA) were electronically surveyed. Results: The 152 respondents included those who had focused exclusively on public health, and those who concurrently obtained clinical degrees in osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, or physician assistant studies. Approximately 90% of the current and former students surveyed believed HECJ to be an integral part of public health, and one in three respondents described being personally impacted by incarceration. More than half (64%) were interested in the HECJ concentration, and 81% of those respondents were interested in completing their field study internship at a correctional facility. Conclusion: The HECJ concentration will fill an educational gap and may provide a pedagogical model for training a future generation of public health professionals to mitigate the health impacts of the U.S. mass incarceration epidemic.
