Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test among Inmates at Madiun Correctional Facility

摘要

There is no prior data about substance involvement among inmates in Indonesian correctional facility, thus authors lead a pilot to establish data in Madiun Correctional Facility and determine a proper intervention. The instrument used is World Health Organization-Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (WHO-ASSIST) v.3.0. A cross sectional study was held during December 2010-October 2012 period, involving 735 new inmates at their reception as respondents with medical officers and other correctional facility's personnel priorly trained to use ASSIST as interviewers. The data collection process was supervised by psychiatrist. A number of 698 (95%) inmates had substance involvement with mean of 3 substances involvement per inmate. The highest involvement was tobacco (661 inmates) and the lowest were inhalants and hallucinogen (no inmate). Nearly all of inmates (94.92%) with substance involvement need brief intervention. It is suggested to arrange special program as intervention treatment in correctional facility.
