Abstract In summer 2022, a case of mpox was confirmed in resident at the Cook County Jail (CCJ) Chicago, Illinois, USA. We conducted in-depth interviews with CCJ residents and staff to assess knowledge, attitudes, practices; hygiene cleaning risk behaviors. characterized findings by using health belief model constructs. perceived increased susceptibility but were unsure about infection severity; they motivated protect themselves reported limited knowledge as barrier desired clear communication inform preventive actions. Residents expressed low self-efficacy because contextual factors, including access cleaning, disinfecting, items. Our suggest correctional facilities can support disease prevention providing actionable tailored messages; educating vaccination options; ensuring training for hygiene, disinfecting supplies.

Abstract Background UK prisons were profoundly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, uptake of vaccination remained low in these settings. Social roles, relationships, and freedoms influence vaccine uptake. Prisons are isolated design may foster mistrust that negatively influences also unique communities with their own social networks relationships. Methods We undertook a questionnaire survey across all six Wales, UK, to gather data on behaviour, attitudes, other influencing factors. fitted binomial generalised linear mixed effects models identify predictors vaccination. Results Surveys completed 727 prison residents. found younger cohorts, those serving short sentences, who perceived themselves be poorer health. Those reporting levels trust towards others fewer sources support less likely vaccinated. Conclusion Our findings suggest building prosocial atmosphere strengthening relationships between staff residents would positively Specific message framing should considered address beliefs motivations most prevalent this population group, rather than focussing simply enhancing opportunity for

The aging population in United States (US) correctional facilities has grown dramatically over the last several decades. At present, roughly one four adults incarcerated US prisons are at least 50 years of age. Research ten likewise expanded to catalog impacts incarceration on older adults, and myriad ways is unique for this population. In paper, we summarize state literature intersection incarceration, health, aging. We begin by outlining a range individual health outcomes adults. Next, offer targeted policy implications address consequences Finally, conclude offering research agenda that emphasizes theory building, jail-based approaches, expansion what known about women, cognitive impairment, staff perspectives, interventions enhance persons who incarcerated.

Incarcerated populations experienced high rates of SARS-CoV-2 infection and death during early phases the COVID-19 pandemic. To evaluate vaccine effectiveness in carceral context, we investigated first outbreak a California state prison following widespread rollout vaccines to residents 2021. We identified cohort 733 presumed be exposed between May 14 June 22, 46.9 % (n = 344) were vaccinated, primarily with two doses mRNA-1273 332, 93.6 %). In total, 92 PCR-positive cases identified, which (14.5 %) occurred among vaccinated residents. No required hospitalization. All nine isolates collected belonged Alpha (B.1.1.7) variant. used Cox proportional hazard regression estimate for at least one dose any start outbreak. Vaccine was 86 (95 CI: 75 %-97 against PCR-confirmed infection, similar results symptomatic infection.

Abstract Background We sought to assess the extent which subjective experiences of COVID-19 vaccine side effects among US adults are associated with political party identification. Methods An online survey was conducted a national sample (N = 1259) identifying as either Republican or Democrat. Results There no significant difference by identification in perceived severity vaccination effects; however, Republicans were significantly less likely recommend others light their experience (OR 0.40; 95% CI, 0.31–0.51; P < 0.001). also reported having larger share COVID-19-vaccinated friends and family who experienced notable 1.31; 1.02–1.68; 0.05). positive association between respondents’ side-effect proportion peers (r 0.43; Conclusion Subjective appraisals vaccinated may affect broader acceptability.

Abstract Confinement facilities are high-risk settings for the spread of infectious disease, necessitating timely surveillance to inform public health action. To identify jail-associated COVID-19 cases from electronic laboratory reports maintained in Minnesota Electronic Disease Surveillance System (MEDSS), Minnesota, USA, Department Health developed a system that used keyword and address matching (KAM). The KAM SAS program (SAS Institute Inc., https://www.sas.com) an automated within MEDSS confinement keywords addresses. evaluate KAM, we matched jail booking data Statewide Supervision by full name birthdate records adults with 2022. identified 2,212 persons detained jail; sensitivity was 92.40% specificity 99.95%. success demonstrates its potential be applied other diseases congregate-living real-time without added reporting burden.

Background People incarcerated during the COVID-19 pandemic face higher vulnerability to infection due structural and social factors in carceral settings. Additionally, prevalence of chronic health conditions among populations, they are also at risk for more severe disease. This study was designed explore experiences people prisons jails Maryland height pandemic. Methods We conducted semi-structured phone interviews between January 2021 April 2022 with ten individuals facilities U.S. were subsequently released from prison or jail. transcribed interviews, coded them, engaged content analysis, an inductive analytical approach developing themes meaning qualitative data. Results Four emerged participants’ descriptions their experiences: (1) distress fear, vulnerability, lack knowledge about how protect themselves, (2) shortcomings jail administrators other personnel through transparency arbitrary punitive enforcement protocols, (3) access programming communication others, (4) absence preparation release usual re-entry services. Conclusion Participants responded that jails’ response ill-prepared, inconsistent, without appropriate measures mitigate restrictions on liberty prepare them release. The information sharing amplified sense fear unique incarceration status. Study findings have several institutional implications, such as requiring establish public preparedness procedures making plans publicly available.
