Current Bibliographies in Medicine: Prison Health Care (1132 Citations)

摘要

The bibliography lists monographs, journal articles, audiovisuals, government reports, and selected meeting abstracts and law case reports from January 1986 through September 1990 on many aspects of prison health care. Some earlier cited materials are included due to their important or unique coverage. Materials reflecting prison health care in general, correctional health services, health education, health care providers, and ethical and legal aspects of prison health care are included. References selected are from the varied fields of medicine, psychiatry, psychology, nursing, social work, sociology, bioethics, law and criminal justice, substance abuse, sports, nutrition, and public affairs. Materials referring to prisoners of war, refugees, hostages, concentration camps, and the Holocaust have been excluded, and citations about political prisoners are only included where health care is discussed. Normative personality and psychological assessment of inmates and corrections staff are excluded. Arrangement of the bibliography is by subject and by media format; citations may be in more than one category. Foreign language material is included. At the end is an Appendix listing national organizations related to prisons and prison health care. These organizations currently provide information, referral services, educational support, audiovisuals, standards of care, and publications for inmates and corrections staff.
