Drug-Related Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) in Prisons
Study Purpose:*To gain an understanding of the prevalence of ABI among Victorian Prisoners
*To test for under-identification of drug-related ABI among Victorian Prisoners
Rationale for Study
*In Australia & internationally, correctional agencies have not identified ABI as being an issue of specific concern (WHO)
*The understanding of the prevalence of ABI is limited to head trauma rather than drug-induced
Drug-Related Acquired Brain Injury (ABI):
Participant Recruitment: *(n=146) adult male prisoners – from Melbourne Assessment Prison (MAP) invited*(n=149) adult female prisoners – from Dame Phyllis Frost Centre (DPFC prison) invited
Recruitment Materials & Procedures*Participants were recruited through the Sentence Management Unit (SMU) of MAP & DPFC*Staff training conducted on ABI & the application of the ABI Screening Tool prior to commencement
Recruitment Criteria:*Sentenced Prisoners only (via SMU)- not in transit/remand*Exclusions: Prisoners with I.D & C.A.L.D
Drug-Related Acquired Brain Injury (ABI):
*One hundred and nine out of 146 adult male prisoners consented to participate in the study (75% of male invitees)
*Eighty-six out of 149 adult female prisoners consented to participate in the study (58% of female invitees)

Drug-Related Acquired Brain Injury (ABI):
Method: 3-stage screening process
Aim: To Evaluate the efficacy & validity of a 3-stage process of identifying ABI prevalence data in VIC prisons.
Stage1: Initial Screening of Prisoners with ABI Screening Tool. Stage 1 - Intended to identify participants with positive indicators for ABI & warranted further investigation , thereby reducing the rate of false negatives.
Stage 2: Clinical InterviewStage 2: Intended to refine possible ABI risk factors found at screening
Stage 3: Comprehensive Neuropsychological AxStage 3: Intended to obtain an actual prevalence rate rather than an estimate
Drug-Related Acquired Brain Injury (ABI): Stage 1: The ABI Screening Tool
*Risk Factor Based Checklist *Risk Factors Screen focussed on scientifically proven ABI risk indicators:
* Inability to recognize future consequences resulting from current actions
*↓Judgement in choosing between good and bad actions (or better and best)
*Inability to Override and suppress socially unacceptable responses
*Poor determination of similarities and differences between things or events.
*Poor retention of memory
*Poor modification of emotions to fit socially acceptable norms
How does a dysfunctional frontal lobe affect daily life?
*Sequencing*Difficulty making decisions*Decreased attention*Changed Personality*Decreased problem solving ability*Difficulty with verbal expression*Latency – lack of spontaneity*Poor emotional control of urges/impulses (e.gsexual)
