Abstract

of female respondents scored at risk for at least 5 of 7 health issues (general medical, mental health, substance abuse, pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, STDs, TB). More than one fifth (21%) of male respondents scored at risk for at least 5 of 6 health issues (the issues just listed with the exception of pregnancy). Monitoring risk factors using automated screening systems in county jails may provide short-term indicators to identify preventive strategies, assess their effectiveness, and predict emerging epidemics.10 Clearly, the initial profile indicates the need to reconsider the fragmented delivery of public health services in this context. The data can serve as a basis for educating the public and policymakers about the complicated nature and magnitude of public health risks in jails and the likely magnitude of resources that will be required.
