Abstract With the aim of identifying avenues for targeted implementation of trauma-informed care in correctional contexts, this study engaged in a secondary data analysis to examine comorbidity patterns in the mental health difficulties of incarcerated women. Latent class analysis was conducted using nine indicators of mental health, and indicated the sample (N = 2553) was best represented by four patterns of mental health functioning: serious mental illness (8.7%); mood and drug use disorders (30.3%); substance use only (11.7%); and no/low mental health concerns (49.4%). Multinomial logistic regression indicated that sexual and physical victimization in childhood were important in distinguishing between the classes. These findings support the increased use of trauma-informed approaches to mental health treatment for incarcerated women.

被拘留妇女的心理健康困难：童年和成年受害者的影响

摘要为了确定在矫正环境中有针对性地实施创伤性信息护理的途径，本研究进行了二次数据分析，以检查被拘留妇女的心理健康困难中的合并症模式。使用9种心理健康指标进行了潜伏类分析，并表明样本（N = 2553）最能代表四种心理健康功能模式：严重精神疾病（8.7％）；精神疾病（8.7％）。情绪和药物滥用疾病（30.3％）；仅物质使用（11.7％）；且没有/对精神健康的担忧程度较低（49.4％）。多项式逻辑回归表明，儿童期的性和身​​体受害对区分这两个类别很重要。这些发现支持对被囚禁的妇女更多地采用创伤知情的方法进行心理健康治疗。
