PhD student Jenny Afkinich and colleagues from the University of Southern California have a new paper published in the International Journal of of Mental Health and Addiction that explores the role of incarceration history on depressive symptoms among women. Afkinich and colleagues analyzed data on a sample of formerly incarcerated women and found that timing, duration, and frequency of incarceration were not significant correlates of released women’s depressive symptoms, but that experiences of cumulative disadvantage were associated with depressive symptoms.
