Trends in addiction treatment in Irish prisons using national surveillance data, 2009-2014.

This study can help policy development and service planning in addiction treatment in prison as it provides an insight into the potential needs of incarcerated populations. It also provides a baseline from which to measure any changes in provision of treatment in prison over time. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This is the first study to analyse treatment episodes in prison using routine surveillance data in Ireland. Analysis of these data can provide useful information, not currently available elsewhere. PMID: 31172855 [PubMed - in process]
