DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This study will examine factors that predict whether African-American male offenders receive substance abuse treatment during prison and post-release, as well as factors associated with time to recidivism (re-arrest or re- incarceration) post-release. The study will include subgroup comparisons of African-American, White and Latino males in order to better understand the interactions between race, substance abuse treatment and monitoring post release, and their relationships to outcomes. African-American males with a history of criminal justice involvement and substance abuse problems are at high risk for relapse and recidivism, yet treatment interventions that address these problems have been limited. Moreover, there is little evidence about the effectiveness, and cultural and social relevancy of treatment practices administered pre-and post-release for the general prison population, and African-American male offenders in particular. Data are available from an existing de-identified dataset, created using probabilistic matching of Connecticut Department of Correction (DOC) files with data from the Connecticut Departments of Public Safety and Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS). The dataset includes all sentenced prisoners with moderate to serious substance use disorders who were released during FY2003, along with substance abuse treatment, DOC movement, and arrests for FY2001 - FY2005 for the same individuals. The study will: (1) examine rates and determinants of participation in substance abuse treatment for incarcerated and recently released African-American, Latino and White males; and; (2) examine rates and determinants of survival to recidivism for African-American, Latino and White males. The results of this R03 will have implications for reducing relapse and recidivism for African- American male offenders by identifying (1) potential barriers to treatment, and (2) key points along the continuum of program services provided by the criminal justice and substance abuse treatment systems. These findings will facilitate the development of systems interventions to improve access to care and promote better health and social outcomes for African-American males.

描述(由申请人提供)：这项研究将调查预测非裔美国男性罪犯在监狱期间和释放后是否接受药物滥用治疗的因素，以及与释放后再次犯罪(再次逮捕或重新监禁)的时间相关的因素。这项研究将包括对非裔美国人、白人和拉丁裔男性的分组比较，以更好地了解种族、药物滥用治疗和出院后监测之间的相互作用，以及它们与结果的关系。有刑事司法参与和药物滥用问题史的非裔美国男性复发和再次犯罪的风险很高，但解决这些问题的治疗干预措施有限。此外，对于普通监狱人口，特别是非裔美国男性罪犯在释放前和释放后实施的治疗做法的有效性以及文化和社会相关性，几乎没有证据。数据来自现有的未识别数据集，该数据集使用康涅狄格州惩教部(DOC)文件与康涅狄格州公共安全、心理健康和成瘾服务部(DMHAS)的数据进行概率匹配创建。该数据集包括2003财年期间释放的所有患有中度到严重药物使用障碍的被判刑囚犯，以及药物滥用治疗、DOC行动和2001财年至2005财年对相同个人的逮捕。这项研究将：(1)检查被监禁和最近获释的非裔美国人、拉丁裔和白人男性参与药物滥用治疗的比率和决定因素；以及(2)检查非裔美国人、拉丁裔和白人男性的再犯罪率和存活率决定因素。R03的结果将通过确定(1)潜在的治疗障碍，以及(2)刑事司法和药物滥用治疗系统提供的一系列计划服务的关键点，对减少非裔美国男性罪犯的复发和再犯罪率产生影响。这些发现将有助于制定系统干预措施，以改善非裔美国男性获得护理的机会，并促进更好的健康和社会结果。
