Abstract

Abstract Relationships between opioid use and health, both physical and mental, have been discovered over the last decade or so, but these relationships have yet to be explored among incarcerated individuals. These relationships are important as they may have implications on the health of those who are incarcerated and nearing reentry, because higher rates of opioid use, as well as poor physical and mental health, are found among those who are justice-involved compared with the general population. Using baseline data from a multistate randomized controlled trial, authors aimed to fill this gap by exploring mental health disorder rates and physical health among a sample of incarcerated individuals who report lifetime opioid use and nearing community reentry. Results showed that the prevalence of lifetime opioid use was significantly associated with increased physical role limitation, decreased emotional well-being, and overall poorer health. Additionally, individuals with a lifetime history of opioid use were significantly more likely to have depression, social and generalized anxiety disorders, as well as a history of alcohol and illicit substance use. This work speaks to the urgency in expanding efforts to increase access to comprehensive service delivery models that address substance use, mental health, and physical health comorbidities among incarcerated individuals.

监禁人员终身阿片类药物使用与身心健康的关系

在过去十年左右的时间里，人们已经发现了阿片类药物使用与身体和精神健康之间的关系，但这些关系尚未在被监禁的个体中得到探索。这些关系很重要，因为它们可能对那些被监禁和即将重返社会的人的健康产生影响，因为与一般人群相比，涉及司法的人使用阿片类药物的比例更高，身心健康状况也较差。作者利用一项多州随机对照试验的基线数据，旨在通过探索报告终身使用阿片类药物并接近重返社区的被监禁个体样本中的精神健康障碍率和身体健康状况来填补这一空白。结果显示，终生使用阿片类药物的流行与身体角色限制增加、情绪幸福感下降和整体健康状况较差显著相关。此外，有阿片类药物终生使用史的个体患抑郁症、社交和广泛性焦虑症以及酗酒和非法药物使用史的可能性要大得多。这项工作表明，迫切需要扩大努力，增加获得综合服务提供模式的机会，以解决被监禁者的药物使用、精神健康和身体健康合并症。
