Inequities in Life Course Criminal Legal System Sanctions: Measuring Cumulative Involvement Annals of Epidemiology published online (21 October 2022): DOI: 10.1016/j.annepidem.2022.10.007. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1047279722002538 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Arrests; Criminal Justice System; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Incarceration/Jail Purpose: The impact of incarceration on health is well known. Yet, most studies measure incarceration alone and miss additional exposure to the criminal legal system over time. We evaluated adult criminal legal sanctions--inclusive of arrests, charges, probation, incarceration-- from ages 18-35 and inequities by juvenile sanctions and race. Methods: Using the National Longitudinal Survey on Youth 1997, a nationally representative data set of adolescents followed into their mid-thirties (1997-2017), we calculated the mean cumulative count, or the average number of criminal legal events per person per study visit, stratified by juvenile sanctions and race. Results: Of 7,024 participants, 1,679 experienced 3,075 encounters. There were seven arrests, 30 charges, nine probation encounters, and 13 incarceration events /100 participants by age 35. Juvenile sanctions were most common for Black individuals. Among those experiencing juvenile sanctions, Black and White individuals had similar numbers of encounters, but Black individuals had more arrests and incarceration stays. For those without juvenile encounters, Black individuals had more encounters than White individuals. Conclusions: Research on health effects of criminal legal sanctions must consider encounters beyond incarceration and focus on life course trajectories and racial inequities. |

Understanding the Accumulation of Health-related Inequities over the Life Course Using the Mean Cumulative Count American Journal of Epidemiology published online (22 May 2023): DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwad123. Also: https://academic.oup.com/aje/advance-article/doi/10.1093/aje/kwad123/7176017 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press Keyword(s): Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Life Course; Stress Understanding how health inequities develop over time is necessary to inform interventions, but methods to do so are underutilized. We provide an example of the accumulation of stressful life events using the mean cumulative count (MCC), which estimates the expected number of events per person as a function of time, allowing for censoring and competing events. Data come from the National Longitudinal Survey on Youth 1997, a nationally representative data set. To compare the MCC with standard practice, we present the proportion experiencing 1, 2, and 3+ stressful events and the cumulative probability of experiencing at least 1 event by end of follow-up. Our sample included 6,522 individuals ages 18-33 followed for a median of 14 years. Using the MCC, by age 20, the expected number of encounters was 56 events/100 for Black non-Hispanic, 47/100 for White non-Hispanic, and 50/100 for Hispanic persons. By age 33, inequities grew to 117, 99, and 108 events/100, respectively. The MCC revealed that inequities in stressful events accumulate over early adulthood, partially driven by repeat events; this information was not evident from conventional approaches. This method can be used to identify intervention points for disrupting the accumulation of repeat events to improve health equity. |
