Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C among Adults on Probation or Parole in the United States: 2015-2018
JOURNAL OF HEALTH CARE FOR THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED(2021)
摘要
Background. Viral hepatitis is highly prevalent in U.S. prison populations, but prevalence has not been described among adults on probation/parole. Methods. National Survey on Drug Use and Health data from 2015-2018 were pooled to estimate the prevalence of self-reported diagnosed hepatitis B or hepatitis C among adults reporting past-year parole vs. past-year probation only. Results. About 6.4% of adults on parole reported a diagnosis of hepatitis B or hepatitis C, which was significantly higher than adults on probation only (3.2%). The prevalence for both these groups was significantly higher than for adults not on probation/parole (1.3%). Conclusions. Adults on probation/parole were more likely to self-report a medical diagnosis of hepatitis B or hepatitis C compared with adults not on probation/parole. This population may be challenging to reach, but viral hepatitis interventions could improve the health of a vulnerable group and prevent transmission from prison populations to the community.
