How can the primary health care system better support Aboriginal people released from prison?

This report details the findings from a systematic literature review that examined the:

  • physical, mental health and social support needs of Aboriginal people released from custody,
  • impact of in-custody, pre and post release programs on Aboriginal people’s coordination of care during the transition from prison to the community, and in providing access to primary health care and social support services for Aboriginal people released from the criminal justice system,
  • barriers and enablers to implementing these in-custody, pre and post release programs
