DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Academic and Health Policy Conference on Correctional Health is an annual interdisciplinary scientific meeting for health services researchers, policy makers and clinicians concerned with developing empirical evidence to support clinical care for detained populations. The conference provides a unique opportunity for networking as well as the development and dissemination of research. In particular, the forum will serve investigators early in their careers as well as underrepresented minority researchers, facilitating opportunities to develop relationships with clinicians and scientists experienced in the world of criminal justice health care. Topics include the most urgent needs for improving care for detainees including substance abuse evaluation and treatment; care for serious mental illness and co-occurring disorders; strategies to improve care and care coordination for individuals infected with HIV and hepatitis C; community reentry strategies; care for other chronic conditions; and strategies for conducting research in secure environments. Specific aims for the conference: 1. Create a national forum that encourages high quality, interdisciplinary research in correctional health with an emphasis on substance abuse treatment, mental illness and co-occurring disorders as well as prevention and treatment of chronic infections spread through injection drug use. 2. Engage an interdisciplinary group of correctional health researchers, correctional health clinicians, health policy experts and state, county and federal correctional administrators to: network and share experiences; learn from each others' successes and failures; and discuss ideas for interventions to improve outcomes for detainees, 95% of who will return to the community. 3. Facilitate the development of interdisciplinary research teams to: address the most pressing needs in the field; develop research protocols; conduct research; and disseminate and adopt evidence-based clinical practices in correctional settings and post release that emerge from these activities. 4. Develop new areas of applied research informed by the clinical, policy and security agendas across disciplines and geographic areas. Methods: A call for papers is issued annually for submission of presentations and scientific posters. Each conference will include a keynote and two plenary presentations and be followed by themed breakout sessions for presentations accepted following peer review. The conference will also include planned sessions to facilitate discussion of research design and networked research projects. Scholarships are available for a limited number of junior investigators interested in pursuing research on criminal justice health care. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Drug related offenses are estimated at 80% of all arrests and 15% of detainees have serious mental illness. HIV, hepatitis C and TB are prevalent in this population with 95% of inmates returning to communities. Best practices to improve treatment, adherence and community reentry will emerge from the conference.

描述（由申请人提供）：惩教健康的学术和健康政策会议是卫生服务研究人员，政策制定者和临床医生的年度跨学科科学会议，涉及开发经验证据，以支持被拘留人群的临床护理。该会议为网络以及研究的发展和传播提供了独特的机会。特别是，该论坛将在其职业生涯的早期以及代表性不足的少数群体研究人员的早期为调查人员提供服务，从而促进与与刑事司法卫生保健领域经验丰富的临床医生和科学家建立关系的机会。主题包括改善被拘留者护理的最紧急需求，包括滥用药物评估和治疗；照顾严重的精神疾病和同时发生的疾病；改善感染HIV和肝炎的人的护理和护理协调的策略；社区再入策略；照顾其他慢性病；以及在安全环境中进行研究的策略。会议的具体目的：1。创建一个国家论坛，鼓励惩教健康方面的高质量，跨学科研究，重点是滥用药物治疗，精神疾病和共同发生的疾病，以及预防和治疗通过注射药物使用的慢性感染传播。 2。与惩教健康研究人员，惩教健康临床医生，卫生政策专家以及州，县和联邦惩教管理人员组成的跨学科小组：网络和共享经验；从彼此的成功和失败中学习；并讨论干预措施以改善被拘留者的结果的想法，其中95％的人将返回社区。 3。促进跨学科研究团队的发展：满足该领域最紧迫的需求；制定研究方案；进行研究；并在惩教环境中传播并采用基于证据的临床实践，并从这些活动中出现后发布。 4。开发由学科和地理领域的临床，政策和安全议程告知的应用研究的新领域。方法：每年发出有关论文的呼吁，以提交演讲和科学海报。每个会议将包括一个主题演讲和两个全体演讲，然后在同行评审后接受主题的突破性会议，以供接受。会议还将包括计划的会议，以促进研究设计设计和网络研究项目的讨论。有限数量的初级调查员有兴趣进行刑事司法医疗保健研究。 公共卫生相关性：据估计，与药物有关的犯罪估计为所有逮捕，有15％的被拘留者患有严重的精神疾病。 HIV，丙型肝炎和结核病在该人群中普遍存在，有95％的囚犯返回社区。会议将出现改善治疗，依从性和社区再入的最佳实践。
