Abstract

Justice-involved adults experience disparities in healthcare access. This pilot study examines healthcare access among young adult probationers (n = 66) receiving 6-months of Service Navigation and Health Coaching support implemented between 2017 and 2021. Data are from baseline, 6-month follow-up and satisfaction surveys. Between baseline and follow-up, the proportion of insured young adult participants (66%-88%; p < .001) and those using healthcare services (36%-71%; p < .001) increased significantly; report of unmet physical healthcare needs decreased significantly (44%-26%; p = .003). Satisfaction data revealed increased self-efficacy, motivation, focus, and improved organizational, goal setting, and communication skills. The program improved healthcare access by increasing health insurance and recent use of healthcare services. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess maintenance of these outcomes and potential impacts on disparities in health status and access to care indicators. Integrating navigation and coaching supports to advance the well-being of justice-involved young adults is a promising mechanism to facilitate healthcare access.

参加以健康为重点的重返社会试点计划的年轻成年缓刑犯获得医疗保健的情况。

涉案成年人在获得医疗保健服务方面存在差异。这项试点研究考察了在 2017 年至 2021 年期间接受 6 个月服务导航和健康辅导支持的年轻成年缓刑犯（n = 66）的医疗保健获得情况。数据来自基线、6 个月随访和满意度调查。在基线和随访期间，投保的年轻成年参与者比例（66%-88%；P P = .003）。满意度数据显示，参与者的自我效能感、积极性和专注度均有所提高，组织能力、目标设定和沟通技巧也有所改善。该计划通过增加医疗保险和近期对医疗服务的使用，改善了医疗服务的可及性。需要进行纵向研究，以评估这些成果的维持情况，以及对健康状况差异和就医指标的潜在影响。整合导航和辅导支持，提高参与司法活动的年轻成年人的幸福感，是促进医疗保健获取的一个很有前景的机制。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Press/Politics is an interdisciplinary journal for the analysis and discussion of the role of the press and politics in a globalized world. The Journal is interested in theoretical and empirical research on the linkages between the news media and political processes and actors. Special attention is given to the following subjects: the press and political institutions (e.g. the state, government, political parties, social movements, unions, interest groups, business), the politics of media coverage of social and cultural issues (e.g. race, language, health, environment, gender, nationhood, migration, labor), the dynamics and effects of political communication.
