项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this study is to understand how drug use and criminality are related to health disparities, particularly HIV, and service utilization among African American drug using and non-drug using women across criminal justice status. While drug use is similar across racial groups in the US, African Americans are disproportionately more likely to experience severe health consequences and criminal involvement as a result of drug misuse. Adequate health care may not be received by African American female offenders because they experience the burden of their race, class, gender, and criminal offender status. There is limited scientific data to help understand the linkages between health disparities such as HIV, untreated drug abuse, barriers to service utilization, and status as a criminal offender among African American females. This study is significant because of its potential to identify differences in health disparities and service utilization among African American drug using and non-drug using women in selected levels of criminal justice status (intensive correctional supervision-prison (n=200), moderate correctional supervision-jail (n=200), community supervision-probation (n=200), and no criminal justice involvement (n=200)). All 800 African American females will be followed longitudinally for three 6-month intervals to examine health status and the use of health services across time. The specific aims are: (1) To describe the prevalence of health problems among African American women across criminal justice status and drug use status; (2) To determine the cultural, predisposing, historical health, and potential enabling factors that are predictors of health problems among African American drug using and non-drug using women across criminal justice status over 18 months; (3) To describe the prevalence of untreated health problems, the patterns of health services utilization, and the cultural barriers to service utilization among African American women across criminal justice status and drug use status; and (4) To examine the factors that predict the likelihood of using health services among African American drug using and non-drug using women across criminal justice status over 18 months. The significance of this study includes the potential to provide criminal justice systems-level data for health planning and health policy for prevention, intervention, and treatment of African American female drug users. This study is significant to the public health field because of its potential to understand the severity of health disparities among African American women across criminal justice status and drug use status and to predict health status and the use of health services over time. This knowledge of African American females can be used as a foundation for future criminal justice systems-level interventions to increase the use of preventative health care and subsequently reduce the need for expensive medical services, as well as to decrease HIV risk behaviors including drug use, unprotected sex, and recidivism.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究的总体目标是了解吸毒和犯罪行为与健康差异（特别是艾滋病毒）以及非裔美国吸毒和非吸毒妇女在刑事司法状态下的服务利用之间的关系。虽然美国不同种族群体的吸毒情况相似，但非裔美国人因吸毒而遭受严重健康后果和犯罪的可能性要高得多。非裔美国女性罪犯可能无法获得足够的医疗保健，因为她们承受着种族、阶级、性别和刑事罪犯身份的负担。科学数据有限，无法帮助了解非裔美国女性中艾滋病毒、未经治疗的药物滥用、服务利用障碍以及刑事犯罪状况等健康差异之间的联系。这项研究意义重大，因为它有可能确定非裔美国吸毒和非吸毒妇女在特定刑事司法状态水平（强化惩教监督-监狱（n=200）、中度惩教监督-监狱（n=200）、社区监督-缓刑（n=200）和不参与刑事司法（n=200））的健康差异和服务利用方面的差异。所有 800 名非裔美国女性将被纵向跟踪，为期三个 6 个月的时间间隔，以检查不同时间段内的健康状况和卫生服务的使用情况。具体目标是： (1) 描述非裔美国妇女在刑事司法状况和吸毒状况方面健康问题的普遍程度； (2) 确定文化、倾向、历史健康和潜在促成因素，这些因素是非裔美国吸毒和非吸毒妇女在刑事司法状态超过 18 个月内健康问题的预测因素； (3) 描述非裔美国妇女在刑事司法状况和吸毒状况方面未经治疗的健康问题的普遍程度、保健服务利用模式以及利用服务的文化障碍； (4) 研究预测 18 个月内不同刑事司法状态的非裔美国吸毒和非吸毒妇女使用卫生服务可能性的因素。这项研究的意义包括为预防、干预和治疗非裔美国女性吸毒者的健康规划和健康政策提供刑事司法系统级数据的潜力。这项研究对公共卫生领域具有重要意义，因为它有可能了解非裔美国妇女在刑事司法状况和吸毒状况方面的健康差异的严重程度，并随着时间的推移预测健康状况和卫生服务的使用情况。对非裔美国女性的了解可以作为未来刑事司法系统一级干预措施的基础，以增加预防性医疗保健的使用，从而减少对昂贵医疗服务的需求，并减少艾滋病毒危险行为，包括吸毒、无保护性行为和累犯。
