“…Compared with other people who are incarcerated, those with dual disorders have more serious criminal histories, including previous incarcerations 9 and violent offences, 10 and higher rates of serious institutional misconduct while in prison. 10 Dual disorders are more common among women than among men 9 and among survivors of childhood physical and sexual abuse 11 who are involved in the criminal justice system, and they are associated with physical health problems 9 and impairments in psychosocial, cognitive, and occupational functioning. 12 After release from prison, individuals with dual disorders have a substantially higher risk of reincarceration, 10 , 13 attempting suicide, 14 and hospitalisation due to injuries than do those without.…”

“…El género también juega un papel importante en el riesgo y prevalencia de la PD en esta población, siendo más común su ocurrencia en mujeres que en hombres (Baillargreon et al, 2010;Butler et al, 2011;Villagrá et al, 2013). Respecto a las diferencias en las prevalencias, resalta que mientras en reclusos hombres son más frecuentes los trastornos de ansiedad, psicóticos y antisocial de la personalidad, concurrentes con los trastornos por consumo de alcohol y por uso de cannabis, en las mujeres se presentan más los trastornos afectivos, de alimentación, por déficit de atención, de estrés postraumático y límite de la personalidad, concurrentes con el consumo de alcohol y estimulantes (Butler et al, 2011;Konstenius et al, 2015;Martínez-Lanz & Fernández Díaz, 2013;Zlotnick et al, 2008).…”

Sobre diferencias de género en factores de riesgo, se ha visto que en hombres el abuso físico en la infancia predice más la PD, mientras que en las mujeres, el abuso sexual tiene un mayor valor predictivo (Villagrá et al, 2013). También se ha documentado que entre las mujeres reclusas existe una mayor probabilidad de presentar conductas suicidas (Lukasiewicz et al, 2009) y se reporta una mayor violencia doméstica que en los hombres (Martínez Lanz et al, 2013).…”

RESUMENIntroducción: la patología dual se refiere a la concurrencia de un trastorno por consumo de sustancias con otro trastorno psiquiátrico. Estudios epidemiológicos en población general reportan una alta prevalencia de patología dual. Sin embargo, la información disponible sobre el tema en poblaciones especiales es limitada. Objetivo: revisar la evidencia disponible sobre la epidemiología, la atención y los aspectos relevantes para la salud pública acerca de la patología dual en las siguientes poblaciones especiales: personas en situación de indigencia, en prisión, con VIH, VHB y VHC, mujeres y adultos mayores. Método: búsqueda en bases de datos bibliográficos (PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO y OVID) de reportes de investigación enfocados en la prevalencia y el tratamiento de patología dual en las poblaciones mencionadas. Resultados: la prevalencia de la patología dual se presenta de manera diferenciada en estas poblaciones, en comparación con la población general; además está altamente asociada con mayores tasas de morbilidad y mortalidad. La mayoría de los estudios específicos sobre patología dual y las poblaciones especiales, tanto de epidemiología como de tratamientos, se ha realizado en países de alto ingreso. Discusión y conclusiones: se requiere de políticas públicas que contemplen la medición epidemiológica de la patología dual en estas poblaciones, sobre todo en países de mediano y bajo ingreso, e incluyan intervenciones integradas adecuadas a las necesidades específicas de cada población.Palabras clave: patología dual; grupos minoritarios; epidemiología; revisión. ABSTRACTBackground: dual disorders is a term that refers to the co-occurrence of a substance use disorder with other mental disorders. Epidemiological studies have reported a high prevalence of dual disorders in the general population. However, information on dual disorders in special population is limited. Objective: to give an overview of the available evidence on the epidemiology, care and other relevant aspects for public health of dual disorders in the following special populations: homeless, prison inmates, people with sexually-transmitted infections, and the elderly. Method: search in peer-review publication databases (PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO and OVID) for research reports on the epidemiology and treatment of dual pathology in the aforementioned populations. Results: prevalence of dual disorders in these populations appears to be different than in the general population; and it is highly associated with higher mortality and morbidity rates. The majority of studies aimed specifically on the epidemiology and treatment of dual disorders and special populations has been conducted in high-income countries. Discussion and conclusions: there is a need for public policies that consider the epidemiological assessment of dual disorders in special populations, specially in low-and middle-income countries, and include integrated care interventions adequate to the specific needs of each population.

“…Estimated rates of childhood trauma exposure for men incarcerated in US prisons range from 14 per cent (Harlow, 1999) to 77 per cent (Wolff and Shi, 2009). For men incarcerated in Spanish prisons, rates of childhood physical abuse range from 25.0 to 33.0 per cent, with lower rates for sexual abuse, ranging from 3.2 to 10.3 per cent (Villagrá et al, 2019;Wolff and Caravaca Sá nchez, 2019). As might be expected, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is also prevalent among incarcerated samples (Wolff et al, 2014).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the behavioral health disorders and trauma exposure are disproportionately represented among incarcerated men. Historically, prisons have been inadequately equipped to respond to the behavioral health needs of incarcerated people. Given the abundance of behavioral health need and the relatively limited availability of prison-based treatment resources, population health management strategies, particularly need stratification, are vital. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 943 male inmates from three Spanish prisons completed a structured questionnaire. Need groups are based on current depression, anxiety and stress symptoms assessed by the DASS-21 and were validated using adverse childhood experiences (ACE), prison-based abuse, prison-based substance use, social support and resilience. Findings Three need groups were identified, namely, minimal, mild/moderate and severe, each representing about one-third of the sample. The severe group had the highest level of all three types of psychological distress, ACE and prison-based adversity and substance use. No statistical differences in social support and resilience were found among the groups. These findings provide a platform for future research to explore how the complexity of behavioral health care need can be identified and stratified for strategic and rational treatment matching. Proving whether a population health management approach improves behavioral health and personal safety outcomes within funding-constrained carceral environments is the next research priority. Originality/value This study is the first to group co-morbid psychological distress into need categories using a social determinants of health framework for validation.
