Ex-prisoners face high risk of poor health and social outcomes in the community, and Indigenous people are over-represented in prison population by a factor of 15. The ‘Passports to Advantage’ intervention aims to improve the capacity of ex-prisoners, to use health care and community support services. Nationwide adoption of the intervention will be costly, but can change health service use and health outcomes among ex-prisoners. There is currently no evidence to address the policy decision of whether the intervention should be widely adopted.

刑满释放人员在社区中面临着健康状况不佳和社会后果不佳的高风险，监狱人口中原住民的比例高出 15 倍。“优势护照”干预措施旨在提高刑满释放人员使用医疗保健和社区支持服务的能力。在全国范围内采用这种干预措施成本高昂，但可以改变刑满释放人员的医疗服务使用和健康结果。目前没有证据表明是否应该广泛采用干预措施的政策决定。
