与一般人口相比，监狱人口受到不良健康结果的影响不成比例。尽管如此，许多监狱系统没有对各种健康指标进行充分的监测，因此难以确定和解决这一环境中的健康问题。在这篇评论中，作者强调了监狱环境中的四个公共卫生危机，并确定了数据监测方面的差距。本评论中讨论的公共卫生领域是艾滋病毒、自杀、过量用药和COVID-19。作者还探讨了目前在监狱环境中收集和报告数据的障碍，并提出了改进监督工作的建议。
The jail population is disproportionately affected by poor health outcomes compared with the general population. Despite this, many jail systems do not have adequate surveillance of various health indicators, making it difficult to identify and address health concerns within this setting. In this commentary, the authors highlight four public health crises within the jail setting and identify gaps in data surveillance. The public health domains discussed in this commentary are HIV, suicide, overdose, and COVID-19. Authors also explore current barriers to data collection and reporting within the jail setting and provide recommendations for improved surveillance efforts.
