Prevalence rates of infectious diseases among offenders in federal custody / prepared by Kayla Wanamaker and Daniella Filoso. : PS82-1/23-30E-PDF

"In collaboration with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the University of Ottawa, Correctional Service Canada (CSC) conducted the 2022 National Health Survey. One of the study objectives was to determine the prevalence rates of infectious diseases among the in-custody federal offender population. The CSC requires information on the prevalence of infectious diseases, such as Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV), and syphilis to plan for appropriate services. These infectious diseases can be transmitted through risky behaviours including unprotected sex and needle sharing, with evidence to suggest that risk-taking behaviours are particularly prevalent among the incarcerated population."
