Eligibility Criteria

  • * All incarcerated people in the Pennsylvania DOC are included in the study population for these low risk interventions. In this each individual intervention, inclusion criteria will be based on where incarcerated people are housed and therefore what intervention they will be exposed to.
  • * Exclusion criteria will likely include severe physical or mental illness as these individuals are often incarcerated in special units which will not be included in the study (i.e. medical units).
