DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed study (R01; PA-07-070) will examine the heterogeneity of victimization, its' relationship with substance use and psychological distress, as well as the combined affect of these factors on the health seeking process among victimized women in the criminal justice (CJ) system. Study aims are to 1) identify and characterize latent class trajectories based on victimization, substance use, and psychological distress among 400 victimized women on probation and parole; 2) determine the extent to which women in the identified trajectory classes vary, over a two year time period, in levels of risk and protection in the health seeking process; and 3) examine the theory based components of the health seeking process among 400 victimized women on probation and parole. Findings from this research will be used to identify those groups of women that are most at risk for engagement in high risk behaviors (current drug use; psychological distress; HIV risk behavior; lawbreaking and continued CJ involvement) and to identify and characterize their associated levels of risk and protection in the health seeking process across a two year time period. Study findings will provide a theoretically guided understanding of the relationship among the component parts of the health seeking process that affect engagement in high risk behavior, over time, among this population. These data are necessary prerequisites to the development of tailored intervention strategies that target specific groups of women within the CJ system; these data can provide practitioners, administrators and policy makers with direct information about which groups of women will be most amenable to which intervention/prevention approaches. Study findings have the potential to have broad relevance within the CJ system and other care systems (e.g. substance abuse and mental health treatment systems) that provide services to this marginalized and growing population. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The confluence of race and class among women in the CJ system means that increases in this population disproportionately affect the health and well-being of women of color, particularly poor women of color; the increased involvement of women in the CJ system has perpetuated and fueled racial disparities and biases in the areas of child well-being and the child welfare system, infectious diseases and other markers of public health, and other domains of psychosocial functioning such as employment and educational attainment. Results of this study will contribute directly to the development of targeted intervention strategies to address the needs of this population; study results will allow for the identification of those groups of victimized women in the CJ system that are most at risk for engagement in high risk behaviors (current drug use; psychological distress; HIV risk behavior; lawbreaking and continued CJ involvement) and to characterize their associated levels of risk and protection in the health seeking process across time. Results will also provide a theoretically guided understanding of the health seeking process by which these women come to engage in high risk behavior.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项拟议的研究（R01； PA-07-070）将研究受害的异质性，其与药物使用和心理困扰的关系以及这些因素对刑事司法（CJ）系统中受害妇女的健康寻求过程的综合影响。研究目的是1）基于受害，药物使用和心理困扰的潜在阶级轨迹的识别和表征400名受害妇女的缓刑和假释； 2）确定确定的轨迹类别中的妇女在两年时间内在健康寻求过程中的风险和保护程度各不相同； 3）检查400名受害妇女在缓刑和假释中受害的妇女中基于理论的基于理论的组成部分。这项研究的发现将用于确定那些最有可能参与高风险行为风险的妇女群体（当前的药物使用；心理困扰；艾滋病毒风险行为；违法和持续的CJ介入），并在两年期间确定和表征其在健康寻求过程中相关的风险和保护水平。研究结果将在理论上对健康寻求过程的组成部分之间的关​​系有一个指导性的理解，这些部分会随着时间的流逝而影响高风险行为的参与。这些数据是制定针对CJ系统中特定妇女群体的量身定制干预策略的必要先决条件；这些数据可以为从业者，管理人员和政策制定者提供有关哪些妇女组最适合哪种干预/预防方法的直接信息。研究发现有可能在CJ系统和其他护理系统（例如滥用药物和心理健康治疗系统）中具有广泛的相关性，从而为这种边缘化和增长的人群提供服务。 公共卫生相关性：CJ系统中女性种族和阶级的融合意味着，这种人口的增加会影响有色妇女的健康和福祉，尤其是有色人种的妇女；妇女参与CJ系统的参与使儿童福祉和儿童福利系统，传染病和其他公共卫生的其他标志以及其他心理社会功能领域（例如就业和教育实现）的领域，传染病和其他领域的参与延续了种族差异和偏见。这项研究的结果将直接有助于制定有针对性的干预策略来满足该人群的需求；研究结果将允许在CJ系统中识别那些受害妇女群体最有可能参与高风险行为的风险（当前的药物使用；心理困扰；艾滋病毒风险行为；违法行为和持续的CJ参与），并表征其在整个时间内寻求健康寻求健康过程中相关的风险和保护水平。结果还将为这些妇女从事高风险行为的健康寻求过程提供理论上的指导性理解。
