Abstract

Introduction: People in prison are at an increased risk of long-term conditions, which have been associated with poor nutrition intake, low levels of physical activity and obesity.
Aim: To identify the necessary components of nutrition education to impact on the health and health behaviours of people in prison.
Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines informed the structure of this paper. Our protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022353925). Electronic databases were searched for relevant studies published in the English language from 01/01/2000 to 31/12/2023. Data were extracted and narrative synthesis completed.
Results: The search identified 394 studies of which 10 studies included nutrition education delivered to and with people in prison. In most cases, nutrition was one element of a complex intervention, with the inclusion of physical activity and/or a focus on health. The outcomes measured varied considerably across studies, therefore, our narrative synthesis explored the 1) development and delivery; 2) content and 3) impact of nutrition education delivered for people in prison.
Conclusion: There remains a need for nutrition education for people in prison, developed through co-production, which encompass their individual needs, with quantifiable outcome measures, through validated tools and/or physiological measures.
