“…Given that these findings confirmed other studies (Biswas & Vaughn, 2011; Dembo et al, 2009; du Plessis et al,2009; Halperin et al, 2001; Kelly et al, 2009; Robillard et al 2005; Steinberg et al, 2011), this study expounds on the examination of risky health behaviors among detained female adolescents. Moreover, with the paucity of empirical research on dating violence among adolescent detainees (Woodson et al, 2010), this study adds to existing knowledge in this area.…”

“…Steinberg, Grella, Boudov, Kerndt and Kadrnka (2011) found substance use and risky behaviors, including early initiation of sexual intercourse and low condom use, commonly reported among adolescent female juvenile detainee samples. While research has examined adolescent female detainees and risky behavior (Voisin, Hung, King & 2012; Biswas & Vaughn, 2011; Robillard, Conerly, Braithwaite, Stephens & Woodring, 2005), discussion that examines these behaviors has focused on violence exposure (Woodson, Hives & Sanders-Phillips, 2010; Wood, Foy, Goguen, Pynoos & James, 2002) with minimal attention specifically given to teen dating violence (Kelly, Cheng, Peralez-Dieckmann & Martinez, 2009).…”

There are many health risk behaviors that may elevate the risk of adolescents engaging in teenage dating violence. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the health risk behaviors that are associated with a sample of female juvenile offenders to identify the extent to which those behaviors contribute to dating violence. The survey assessed respondents’ health risk behaviors prior to incarceration, their perceptions of quality of life, post-incarceration expectations, psychosocial factors and other social determinants. Results indicated youth exposure to dating violence, alcohol, drug and risky sexual behaviors in the year prior to incarceration. These findings demonstrate the need to address teen dating violence with at-risk adolescents in addition to risky behaviors.

“…Although many attitudinal, relationship and contextual factors have been associated with condom use among homeless youth (Alvarez, Villarruel, Zhou, & Gallegos, 2010; Matson, Adler, Millstein, Tschann, & Ellen, 2011; Outlaw, Naar-King, Janisse, & Parsons, 2010; Steinberg, Grella, Boudov, Kerndt, & Kadrnka, 2011; Tucker, et al, 2012), little is known about whether these factors, many of which precede sexual events in time, are associated with the two stages of condom use that also precede sexual events in time: deciding ahead of time about condom use and having a condom available. Understanding factors that predict decisions made prior to a sexual event are important because prior work suggests that discussions or decisions made prior to sexual events (or the absence of these discussions) may influence whether condoms are used during the event (Bailey et al, 1998; Tucker et al, 2012), and some studies show that an intention to use condoms predicts condom use (Alvarez, et al, 2010; Gu et al, 2009; Janepanish, Dancy, & Park, 2011; Mausbach, Semple, Strathdee, & Patterson, 2009).…”

To use or not to use: A stage-based approach to understanding condom use among homeless youth

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study used a stage-based approach to understand condom use behavior in a representative sample of 309 sexually active homeless youth recruited from shelters, drop-in centers, and street sites in Los Angeles County. Focusing on the youth’s most recent sexual event, the three stages of condom use examined were: (1) whether the partners decided prior to the event about using condoms; (2) whether a condom was available at the event; and (3) whether a condom was used at the event. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify attitudinal, relationship, and contextual correlates of each of these three stages. Deciding ahead of time about condom use was associated with being Hispanic, level of education, condom attitudes, and various relationship characteristics (e.g,. partner type, monogamy, relationship abuse), with the nature of these associations varying depending on the type of decision (i.e., deciding to use, deciding to not use). Condom availability was more likely to be reported by males, if the event was described as being special in some way, or if the event lacked privacy. Condom use was more likely among youth with more positive condom attitudes and among youth who decide ahead of time to use a condom, but less likely among those in monogamous relationships or when hard drugs were used prior to sex. Whether sexual intercourse is protected or unprotected is the end result of a series of decisions and actions by sexual partners. Results from this study illustrate how condom use can be better understood by unpacking the stages and identifying influential factors at each stage. Each stage may, in and of itself, be an important target for intervention with homeless youth.

“…Recent studies of both adult and adolescent offenders in California have found a high prevalence of methamphetamine OR odds ratio, 95% CI 95% confidence interval, CNS central nervous system use prior to incarceration; methamphetamine use is also highly associated with a history of prior arrest, jail, and recidivism [28][29][30]. More generally, methamphetamine abuse has been documented to be a significant source of emergency department-related visits and hospital costs [31].…”

Symptomatic Exposures Among California Inmates 2011–2013

et al. 2014

Prisoners have a high prevalence of substance misuse and abuse, but few studies have examined symptomatic exposures among incarcerated populations. We sought to further characterize the nature of these exposures among this population using the California Poison Control System data. Keyword searches identified inmate cases in 2011-2013 for patients 20+ years old exposed to a single substance and taken to hospital from jail, prison, or police custody. Comparisons were made with non-inmate cases during the same period, using similar limitations. Body stuffers and body packers were analyzed as a subgroup. Seven hundred four inmate cases were compared to 106,260 non-inmate cases. Inmates were more likely to be younger, male, and to have engaged in drug misuse or abuse. They most commonly ingested methamphetamine, heroin, acetaminophen, and anticonvulsants. Inmates were more likely to receive activated charcoal (OR 9.87, 8.20-11.88), whole bowel irrigation (OR 44.50, 33.83-58.54), undergo endotracheal intubation (OR 4.09, 2.91-5.73), and to experience a major clinical outcome or death (OR 1.41, 1.05-1.89). When body stuffers and packers were removed, clinical findings were similar, though the odds of a major outcome or death became statistically non-significant. Body stuffers and body packers primarily used methamphetamine and heroin, and compared with other inmates had significantly higher odds of both adverse clinical effects and poor outcome. This large series provides a profile of symptomatic exposures among inmates, a little-studied population. The potential for high morbidity among body stuffers and packers suggests that a high index of suspicion of such ingestions be maintained when evaluating patients prior to incarceration.
