“…132 Those who are NEET at the end of schooling are more likely to have lower earnings, greater unemployment, and employment instability through adult life. 133 Poor health and diffi cult transitions into the workplace go hand in hand; those who are NEET have high rates of mental health problems, suicide risk, and substance abuse. 134,135 …”

“…This poor health behaviour can lead to immediate poor physical health, as well as poor health behaviours later into adulthood. Because poor health behaviours later into adulthood can beget poor adult health, the elevated chronic stress brought about by incarceration at this life stage could function to damage health far after incarceration has occurred (Haas, 2007; Hale, Bevilacqua & Viner, 2015). Given the potentially severe, negative health consequences that incarceration during the transition to adulthood could have on long-term health, more work is needed to increase our understanding of the relationship between incarceration at this transitional stage and health at this specific point in early adulthood.…”

A rapidly growing literature has documented the adverse social, economic and, recently, health impacts of experiencing incarceration in the United States. Despite the insights that this work has provided in consistently documenting the deleterious effects of incarceration, little is known about the specific timing of criminal justice contact and early health consequences during the transition from adolescence to adulthood—a critical period in the life course, particularly for the development of poor health. Previous literature on the role of incarceration has also been hampered by the difficulties of parsing out the influence that incarceration exerts on health from the social and economic confounding forces that are linked to both criminal justice contact and health. This paper addresses these two gaps in the literature by examining the association between incarceration and health in the United States during the transition to adulthood, and by using an analytic approach that better isolates the association of incarceration with health from the multitude of confounders which could be alternatively driving this association. In this endeavor, we make use of variable-rich data from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (n = 10,785) and a non-parametric Bayesian machine learning technique- Bayesian Additive Regression Trees. Our results suggest that the experience of incarceration at this stage of the life course increases the probability of depression, adversely affects the perception of general health status, but has no effect on the probability of developing hypertension in early adulthood. These findings signal that incarceration in emerging adulthood is an important stressor that can have immediate implications for mental and general health in early adulthood, and may help to explain long lasting implications incarceration has for health across the life course.

“…A recent systematic review has documented the negative influence poor health has on education and employment; however, most studies identified were from the USA and income outcomes were not specifically considered 5. The transition from adolescence to adulthood is a complex time period influenced by higher education attainment, personal income and family income.…”
