Preventing mortality in adults after release from prison: Advancing global knowledge through an international, individual participant data meta-analysis

被释放囚犯的死亡风险增加，但对这一人群中可预防死亡的发生率、时间、原因、背景或风险因素知之甚少。在这个项目中，我们汇编了18个出狱囚犯队列(总数=1,159,290人)，并将分析这些数据，以准确地确定哪些出狱囚犯在什么时候面临最大的风险。这一新知识将为政策变化提供信息，以减少这一脆弱群体中不必要的生命损失。

Ex-prisoners are at increased risk of death, but not enough is known about the incidence, timing, causes, context or risk factors for preventable death in this population. In this project we have compiled 18 cohorts of ex-prisoners (total number=1,159,290) and will analyse the data to determine exactly which ex-prisoners are at the greatest risk from what, and when. This new knowledge will inform policy changes to reduce the unnecessary loss of life in this vulnerable population.
