      abstract = {Criminal legal system involvement (CLI) is a critical  social determinant of health that lies at the intersection  of multiple sources of health disparities. The COVID-19  pandemic exacerbates many of these disparities, and  specific vulnerabilities faced by the CLI population. This  study investigated the prevalence of COVID-19-related  misinformation, as well as its relationship with COVID-19  information sources used among Americans experiencing CLI.  A nationally representative sample of American adults aged  18+ (N = 1,161), including a subsample of CLI individuals  (n = 168), were surveyed in February-March 2021. On a  10-item test, CLI participants endorsed a greater number of  misinformation statements (M = 1.88 vs. 1.27) than non-CLI  participants, p < .001. CLI participants reported less use  of government and scientific sources (p = .017) and less  use of personal sources (p = .003) for COVID-19 information  than non-CLI participants. Poisson models showed that use  of government and scientific sources was negatively  associated with misinformation endorsement for non-CLI  participants (IRR = .841, p < .001), but not for CLI  participants (IRR = .957, p = .619). These findings suggest  that building and leveraging trust in important information  sources are critical to the containment and mitigation of  COVID-19-related misinformation in the CLI population.},
