Because these factors are highly prevalent in incarcerated populations, identifying susceptible groups and establishing high levels of immunity are crucial to reducing disease transmission and morbidity.Aim: To describe hepatitis A immunity and vaccination status in the California prison population and to identify predictors of susceptibility.Methods: This cross-sectional study used secondary data and employed descriptive, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression analyses.Results: Among the 86,387 incarcerated adults in June 2024, 41.7% had received at least two doses of hepatitis A vaccine, 49.3% had an identified risk factor for HAV, and 47.2% had been tested by serology. The majority (83.1%) had evidence of immunity either by vaccination or seropositivity. Among those who underwent serological testing, 29.7% were seronegative. Independent predictors in an adjusted model of susceptibility included older age, being non-Hispanic, and being U.S.-born. Individuals with certain medical conditions were less likely to be susceptible.Conclusion: Although HAV immunity was high among the California prison population, the substantial prevalence of risk factors supports correctional facilities as an important venue for routine HAV vaccination.","PeriodicalId":73693,"journal":{"name":"Journal of correctional health care : the official journal of the National Commission on Correctional Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"383-389"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148802508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper wea document challenges jail staff experience providing postpartum care, and describe shifts in jail staff knowledge and practice changes related to postpartum care that may be attributable to participation in a training resource for perinatal OUD in corrections. We developed a web-based resource for jail staff called \"Maternal Opioid Use Disorder Management and Care Resources in Custody\" (MOMCARE). From May 2024 to January 2026, we conducted a 12-month pilot MOMCARE intervention at five jails of varying sizes across the United States. We collected facility data on postpartum services, provided ongoing facilitation activities, and conducted qualitative interviews with jail staff to explore postpartum care challenges and opportunities. Through a needs assessment survey and qualitative interviews with staff at baseline, we documented gaps and challenges in service provision for postpartum people. Through ongoing interviews and facilitation activities, jail staff reported promising practice changes including systematically screening for postpartum status at intake, streamlining lactation support processes, and assessing postpartum mental health using validated screening tools. Jail staff also learned that it is safe and recommended for postpartum people to breastfeed while on medications for OUD. Jail staff were receptive to educational and support tools. MOMCARE prompted jails to make changes that align with best practices for postpartum care.","PeriodicalId":73693,"journal":{"name":"Journal of correctional health care : the official journal of the National Commission on Correctional Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"407-415"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13651591/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149139870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This prospective observational study aimed to characterize ophthalmic referral patterns, triage timelines, and follow-up attendance among incarcerated individuals referred to a tertiary eye care center (July 1, 2024 to July 1, 2025). On-call ophthalmology residents assigned referrals to standardized triage categories based on urgency. Referral and clinical data were extracted to evaluate wait times, triage delays, and follow-up attendance. Of 56 referrals, 48 patients (65 eyes) completed an initial visit. Trauma was the most common indication (37.5%). Most referrals were assigned high-priority triage (≤24 hours: 27.1%; ≤48 hours: 33.3%). Median wait time increased with decreasing triage priority (p < 0.001), with longer delays for lower-priority triages (p = 0.002). Follow-up was more frequently requested for trauma (66.7%) versus nontrauma (26.7%; p = 0.002). Among those scheduled for repeat appointments, 44.4% were lost to follow-up, more commonly among trauma (33.3%) versus nontrauma (6.7%; p = 0.040). Despite appropriate triage, lower-priority cases experienced delays beyond triage targets. The high rate of loss to follow-up among patients with ocular trauma, who may require complex ongoing care, highlights the need for improved continuous ophthalmic care access.","PeriodicalId":73693,"journal":{"name":"Journal of correctional health care : the official journal of the National Commission on Correctional Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"375-382"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148802505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is particularly important because access to novel treatments, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) therapies, in the United States depends on BMI classification rather than the exact BMI value. This retrospective analysis explores BMI classification changes over 2 years to assist public health interventions. The dataset included 30,693 individuals with at least two recorded height and weight measurements, accounting for 31, 299 incarcerations between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021 across 37 U.S. federal prisons. BMI classification changes were tracked and categorized as upward, downward, or unchanged using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention BMI classification system. The analysis included descriptive statistics by age group, sex, race, ethnicity, and education, as well as adjusted logistic regression models. One-third of individuals experienced BMI classification changes. Females and individuals without a verified high school diploma/GED who were not participating in the GED program had 20% and 37%, respectively, higher odds of upward reclassification. These findings suggest the need for interventions tailored to address BMI classification changes upon incarceration to meet individual needs.","PeriodicalId":73693,"journal":{"name":"Journal of correctional health care : the official journal of the National Commission on Correctional Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"398-406"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149019059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under these conditions, fluctuating or inconsistent self-report is common and is frequently interpreted as deception, with consequences for documentation, treatment access, and patient safety. This article develops a conceptual framework for interpreting such response variability without presuming intentional dishonesty, and operationalizes it into a structured interpretive tool for real-time clinical use. The framework draws on three literatures: correctional health and OUD assessment, forensic work on malingering, and quantum cognition research on judgment under uncertainty. Constructs from this synthesis were mapped to recurring patterns observed in correctional OUD assessment. Four quantum cognition constructs (order effects, contextuality, superposition, and interference) account for commonly observed patterns, including environment-dependent disclosure, shifts in withdrawal reporting, and ambivalence toward opioid agonist therapy (OAT). These constructs are translated into a structured interpretive tool that prompts clinicians to consider nondeceptive mechanisms (order, context, motivation, and emotional state) before attributing variability to malingering. Applied at the point of care, the framework supports safer withdrawal management, clearer documentation, and more equitable OAT access in correctional environments.","PeriodicalId":73693,"journal":{"name":"Journal of correctional health care : the official journal of the National Commission on Correctional Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"301-311"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148304217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We sought to compare trauma patient characteristics, ED care, and disposition by incarceration status. We hypothesized PEI would have shorter ED lengths-of-stay (LOSs), undergo more cross-sectional imaging, and have lower rates of admission. We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of adult incarcerated and nonincarcerated trauma patients presenting to a Level 1 trauma center from 1/2010 to 12/2020. The primary outcome was ED LOS. Patient characteristics were described, and multivariable median and logistic regression were used to compare outcomes. The cohort included 535 patients. Seventy-nine percent were male; 40% were Black, 32% Hispanic, and 18% White. On univariable analysis, PEI had lower triage acuity, had more blunt injuries, were more likely to receive imaging, and had lower rates of admission. After adjustment, PEI had a shorter median ED LOS (-1.08 hours; 95% CI: [-1.90, -0.26]; p = .01), higher odds of imaging (OR: 1.98; 95% CI: [1.18, 3.33]; p = .01), and similar admission odds (p = .55). PEI with trauma had lower-acuity visits and shorter ED LOS but underwent more imaging, suggesting more extensive evaluation. Further studies are needed to explore reasons for increased imaging in lower-acuity PEI visits and develop ED best practice guidelines.","PeriodicalId":73693,"journal":{"name":"Journal of correctional health care : the official journal of the National Commission on Correctional Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"320-327"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148439027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
