(University of Melbourne) People released from prison who have both mental illness and substance use problems are at 12 times the risk of suffering injury compared to the general community, world-first research from the University of Melbourne has found. Risky drug use was a health concern for many people, but injury from causes other than drugs accounted for nine out of 10 injury events.
