简要总结
Investigators will execute a mixed methods randomized controlled trial to determine the impacts of cash transfers of $1,000 per month for one month followed by $750 for eleven months. Investigators will measure the impacts of the cash transfers on physical and mental health, housing stability, healthcare utilization, financial stability, and interactions with the criminal legal system.
详细描述
The transition from incarceration to community reintegration represents a finite time period of unique challenges, often exacerbated by fines and other structural constraints associated with limited access to housing, the workforce, and public benefits. As such, individuals exiting prisons are most vulnerable for recidivism and other poor wellbeing outcomes during the initial period after their release.
The project will enroll approximately 200 individuals in the Omaha, NE area to receive cash transfers over a one year period. Another 250 will be assigned to the control group and will not receive the cash transfers but will be eligible to participate in research activities. Adults exiting Nebraska state prisons will be eligible to participate if they are exiting prison during the specified time frame and do not have a conviction of a sex crime or homicide.
Longitudinal repeated measures will be utilized through surveys conducted at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 month intervals. Future involvement with the criminal legal system will be measured using linked administrative data from the Department of Corrections. A select group of 30 participants across study groups will also be invited to participate in in-depth interviews with a CGIR research scientist and team at multiple time points.
