The cost effectiveness of improving health and reducing offending among recently released prisoners in Australia

出狱的囚犯面临着健康状况不佳和社区社会后果的高风险，而土著人在监狱人口中的比例高出15倍。“利用护照”干预措施的目的是提高前囚犯利用保健和社区支助服务的能力。在全国范围内采用这种干预措施将耗资巨大，但可以改变前囚犯的卫生服务使用情况和健康结果。目前还没有证据可以解决是否应该广泛采用干预措施的政策决定。

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.
