| Understanding What Should Be Measured | |
| 10:00am | Linkages between Incarceration and Health: Current State of Knowledge |
|
Michael Massoglia, University of Wisconsin |
|
|
Exploring connections between criminal justice involvement and various components of health, including drug and alcohol abuse. Considering measurement challenges and the need for changes in data collection, as well as an agenda for new research. |
|
| 10:45am | Coffee Break |

|
Defining Criminal Justice Involvement through Various Constructs |
|
|
Chris Wildeman, Cornell University (committee member) |
|
|
A brief overview of existing work/literature that attempts to define criminal justice involvement in terms of demographics such as racial disparity, gender, age, and poverty. Identifying key differences in the mechanisms underlying various states of incarceration and supervision. Defining criminal justice involvement by nature of contact, as well as by length, recency, and prevalence of criminal justice involvement. |

|
A First Attempt: BGSU Measuring Incarceration in Household Surveys Study |
|
|
Wendy Manning, Bowling Green State University |
|
|
Lessons learned from the 2012 ASPE-sponsored study, as well as a look at the resulting product, the Survey of Criminal Justice Experience. |
|
| 12:30pm | Lunch |
| 1:30pm | Direct vs. Indirect Effects of Criminal Justice Involvement |
|
Criminal Justice Involvement and Its Impacts on the Individual, the Family, and the Community |
|
|
John Hagan, Northwestern University; Holly Foster, Texas A&M University |
|
|
How an individual’s criminal justice involvement can affect the individual, his or her family, extended family, and the community at large in many different ways. |
|
|
Health Effects as Consequences |
|
|
Christopher Uggen, University of Minnesota |
|
|
Collateral consequences on health stemming from criminal justice system involvement. |
|
| 3:00pm | Coffee Break |
| 3:15pm | What More Do We Need to Understand?—A Facilitated Session |
|
Facilitator—Ross Matsueda, University of Washington |
|
|
Participants—Evelyn Patterson, Vanderbilt University; Daniel Nagin, Carnegie Mellon University; Ingrid Binswanger, University of Colorado Medical School |
|
|
Participants will consider the causal components of criminal justice involvement on health; identify the critical unanswered research questions and the data needed to explore those answers (including effective sample sizes); and discuss whether various proposals for data collection would be sufficient for the most critical end uses. |
|
| 4:45pm | Day 1 Wrap-Up |
| 5:00pm | Adjourn |
| Wednesday, March 30, 2016 | |
| Open Session, 9:00am–3:00pm | |
| Room 101 | |
| Identifying Best Approaches to Measurement | |
| 9:00am | Breakfast available in the meeting room |
|
Collecting Indicators of Criminal Justice Involvement on Existing Health Surveys: Five Core Health Surveys as Potential Vehicles |
|
|
Marcie Cynamon, NCHS (NHIS); Wayne Giles, CDC (BRFSS) (via phone); Arthur Hughes, SAMHSA (NSDUH); Anjani Chandra, NCHS (NSFG); Kathryn Porter, NCHS (NHANES) |
|
|
We will hear about each of these five core datasets—the nature of the survey, the target population, and the purpose of data collection. We will also consider how questions about criminal justice involvement and administrative record linkage could be incorporated within a consent form such as the one used for the NHANES. |
|
| 10:30am | Coffee Break |
| 10:45am | Insights from Alternative Approaches |
|
Facilitator—John Laub, University of Maryland (committee member) |
|
|
Panel Members—James Lynch, University of Maryland; Elizabeth Cooksey, Ohio State University (NLSY); John Boyle, ICF International; Amanda Geller, New York University (Fragile Families); David Johnson, University of Michigan (PSID) |
|
|
Experience in collecting information about criminal justice involvement in various scenarios may be helpful in the successful development of linkages to health characteristics. The panel’s discussion will center on the following: linking criminal justice involvement to social surveys (such as NLSY, PSID, Fragile Families, Add Health); criminal justice and inmate surveys; and the potential use of administrative records to identify past incarceration. |
|
| 12:00pm | Lunch |
| 1:00pm | Crafting Potential Questions |
|
Asking Sensitive Questions in Surveys |
|
|
Ting Yan, Westat |
|
|
Capturing Criminal Justice Involvement in a Few Simple Questions |
|
|
David Cantor, Westat |
|
|
Presenting strawman examples of potential survey questions. Discussion of strengths/weaknesses with regard to adding questions to differently administered surveys (modality), including potential impact on response rates. |
|
| 2:00pm | Coffee Break |
| 2:15pm | Wrap-Up Discussion |
|
Wendy Manning, Bowling Green State University; John Laub, University of Maryland; Emily Wang, Yale University |
|
|
Committee members’ summaries and impressions of the workshop. |
|
| 3:00pm | Adjourn |
