Summary

People recently released from prison face twice the risk of dying from heart disease compared to the general population. This study investigates the barriers and facilitators to healthcare access for this group, following 508 adults released from state prison in the Denver/Aurora area. Researchers will track clinic visits, emergency room use, and hospitalizations to understand how healthcare access affects heart health and overall outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
This research could point to ways to improve healthcare access for people leaving prison, potentially reducing their high risk of heart problems and death.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it can't prove cause and effect. Findings may not apply to other regions or prison systems.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Participants

508 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

An estimate. End dates often move.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

We are enrolling people who were formerly in prison. People on probation or on parole are responsible for meeting their own needs for health care, in contrast to people currently in prison, who receive these services from the prison system. Thus, people recently released from prison are a high-risk group for a range of poor health outcomes and poor access to care. For these reasons, the focus of this investigation is on people recently released from prison.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
