Facilitator—Ross Matsueda, University of Washington

ParticipantsEvelyn Patterson, Vanderbilt University; Daniel Nagin, Carnegie Mellon University; Ingrid Binswanger, University of Colorado Medical School

Participants will consider the causal components of criminal justice involvement on health; identify the critical unanswered research questions and the data needed to explore those answers (including effective sample sizes); and discuss whether various proposals for data collection would be sufficient for the most critical end uses.

Identifying Best Approaches to Measurement
9:00am Breakfast available in the meeting room

Collecting Indicators of Criminal Justice Involvement on Existing Health Surveys: Five Core Health Surveys as Potential Vehicles

Marcie Cynamon, NCHS (NHIS); Wayne Giles, CDC (BRFSS) (via phone); Arthur Hughes, SAMHSA (NSDUH); Anjani Chandra, NCHS (NSFG); Kathryn Porter, NCHS (NHANES)

We will hear about each of these five core datasets—the nature of the survey, the target population, and the purpose of data collection. We will also consider how questions about criminal justice involvement and administrative record linkage could be incorporated within a consent form such as the one used for the NHANES.

10:30am Coffee Break
10:45am Insights from Alternative Approaches

Facilitator—John Laub, University of Maryland (committee member)

Panel Members—James Lynch, University of Maryland; Elizabeth Cooksey, Ohio State University (NLSY); John Boyle, ICF International; Amanda Geller, New York University (Fragile Families); David Johnson, University of Michigan (PSID)

Experience in collecting information about criminal justice involvement in various scenarios may be helpful in the successful development of linkages to health characteristics. The panel’s discussion will center on the following: linking criminal justice involvement to social surveys (such as NLSY, PSID, Fragile Families, Add Health); criminal justice and inmate surveys; and the potential use of administrative records to identify past incarceration.

In the U.S. criminal justice system in 2014, an estimated 2.2 million people were in incarcerated or under correctional supervision on any given day, and another 4.7 million were under community supervision, such as probation or parole. Among all U.S. adults, 1 in 31 is involved with the criminal justice system, many of them having had recurring encounters.

The ability to measure the effects of criminal justice involvement and incarceration on health and health disparities has been a challenge, due largely to limited and inconsistent measures on criminal justice involvement and any data on incarceration in health data collections. The presence of a myriad of confounding factors, such as socioeconomic status and childhood disadvantage, also makes it hard to isolate and identify a causal relationship between criminal justice involvement and health. The Bureau of Justice Statistics collects periodic health data on the people who are incarcerated at any given time, but few national-level surveys have captured criminal justice system involvement for people previously involved in the system or those under community supervision—nor have they collected systematic data on the effects that go beyond the incarcerated individuals themselves.

In March 2016 the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop meant to assist the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) and Office of the Minority Health (OMH) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in identifying measures of criminal justice involvement that will further their understanding of the socioeconomic determinants of health. Participants investigated the feasibility of collecting criminal justice experience data with national household-based health surveys. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
