Om prosjektet
PriSUD er et omfattende forskningsprosjekt som undersøker helse, levekår og dødelighet blant personer med ruslidelser i norske fengsler. Gjennom kobling av nasjonale registre og kliniske data, bidrar vi til ny kunnskap som kan forbedre behandlingstilbudet og rammene for en sårbar gruppe både under og etter soning.
News from the project
What is PriSUD?
People who have experienced incarceration is a marginalized group with an accumulation of social vulnerability related to mental health and substance abuse. As a result, overdose death, suicide and relapse to drug use are very high. At PriSUD, we map, evaluate and examine outcomes related to the treatment of drug and mental disorders in prison. Over time, the project has increased in scope to include studies related to both the Norwegian and the Nordic prison populations. For more detailed information about the project, read here.
The PriSUD project was started in 2019 and is led by Anne Bukten. In addition, the project has several full-time and part-time team members: postdoctoral fellow Marianne Riksheim Stavseth, postdoctoral fellow Øystein Bruun Ericson, postdoctoral fellow Torill Tverborgvik, postdoctoral fellow Nicoline Lokdam, PhD candidate Rose Elizabeth Boyle, and PhD candidate Vegard Svendsen, as well as Katja Nilsen who represents WayBack. The project also has an interdisciplinary research group.
PriSUD has been developed and is led from the Norwegian Centre for Addiction Research (SERAF) at the University of Oslo (UiO). PriSUD is financed by South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority (HSØ), the Research Council of Norway (NFR) and The Ministry of Justice and Public Security.
