Incarcerated Patients Have Higher Mortality After Trauma: An Unreported Healthcare Disparity, Harry Newmanplotnick
Incarcerated Patients Have Higher Mortality After Trauma: An Unreported Healthcare Disparity, Harry Newmanplotnick
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
While the U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world, at nearly 1% of the adult population, or over 2 million people, insight regarding health disparities in this population remains limited, particularly for traumatic injuries and surgical care. Our aims with this paper were two-fold. First, we sought to perform the largest national database analysis of criminal-justice system involved (CJI) trauma patients (specifically incarcerated patients). Second, we planned to investigate if incarceration status was associated with differences in a variety of outcomes after trauma for U.S. adults.To accomplish these aims we analyzed data from the National Trauma Data Bank …
“I Was Reaching Out For Help And They Did Not Help Me”: Mental Healthcare In The Carceral State, Anna Grace Preston
“I Was Reaching Out For Help And They Did Not Help Me”: Mental Healthcare In The Carceral State, Anna Grace Preston
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
Background: Despite the limitations the carceral environment may impose on mental wellness, mental healthcare is increasingly becoming a carceral endeavor. Over the course of the last several decades, prisons and jails have become the de facto mental healthcare provider for thousands of incarcerated individuals. Furthermore, practices like mandated mental healthcare for supervised individuals further broaden the population experiencing mental healthcare within the criminal legal system at large. This study examines the perspectives of nine individuals who experienced mental healthcare within the carceral state, whether in prison or on parole or probation, with a special focus on how attributes of the …

How Exposure To Mass Incarceration Is Associated With The Wellbeing Of Individuals And Families, Ram Sundaresh
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
Mass incarceration in America has far-reaching effects on individuals and their families. Although a large body of evidence has described the effects of incarceration on specific physical and social outcomes, there is almost no research on its effects on broader wellbeing, a more holistic measure of lived experience that can more sensitively reflect social welfare and structural vulnerability. The goal of this thesis is to assess the association between exposure to the American system of mass incarceration and wellbeing. We examine individual-level exposure to the broader criminal legal system (CLS), including police stops, arrests, and incarceration, and family-level exposure to …
Drumming To Communicate Emotion: Dual-Brain Imaging Informs An Intervention In A Carceral Setting, Rahil Rojiani
Drumming To Communicate Emotion: Dual-Brain Imaging Informs An Intervention In A Carceral Setting, Rahil Rojiani
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
Drumming is an ancient nonverbal communication modality for expression of emotion. However, there has been limited exploration of its possible applications in clinical settings. Further, the underlying neural systems engaged during live communication with drumming have not been identified. We investigated the neural response to live, natural communication of emotion via drumming using a novel dual-brain neuroimaging paradigm to discover its unique neurophysiological mechanisms related to drum behavior and cross-brain coherence, and as compared to talking. We then investigated the application of a drumming intervention in an incarcerated, halfway house population to characterize intervention feasibility, elucidate the phenomenology of social …
