Impact of Changes in Criminal-Legal Practices During the COVID-19 Pandemic on the HIV Risk Behaviors of Women Who Use Drugs: Protocol for a Multimethods Qualitative Study

Impact of Changes in Criminal-Legal Practices During the COVID-19 Pandemic on the HIV Risk Behaviors of Women Who Use Drugs: Protocol for a Multimethods Qualitative Study

This project focuses on one of these myriad factors, incarceration, because women who use drugs, especially women of color who use drugs, are disproportionately ensnared in carceral systems. There are approximately 170,000 women incarcerated in the United States, a number that has increased 7-fold since 1980 [7]. Compared with white women, the rate of incarceration is 1.7 times higher for Black women and 1.3 times higher for Latinas [7].
