Funded Activity Summary

The prison system serves as a filter for the most disadvantaged and unwell members of our community. Prisons provide a rare opportunity to initiate health care for these individuals, but health gains achieved in custody are usually lost after return to the community. The aims of this Fellowship are to (a) understand the health care needs of justice-involved people, (b) develop effective, affordable interventions to meet these needs; and (c) translate the findings of this research into policy.
