Discordance Between Thoughts of Death and Suicidal Ideation Among Latinx Youth and Caregivers in the United States
INTRODUCTION: Despite increasing rates of suicidal thoughts and behavior among Latinx populations in the US, no prior research has examined Latinx youth and caregiver disagreement (discordance) in youth-reported thoughts of death or suicidal thoughts, as well as factors associated with discordance. METHODS: Data were derived from youth aged 13-17 (M = 14.99 [SD = 1.52]) and caregivers (n = 127 dyads) who identified as Latinx/Hispanic living in a …
Effectiveness Outcomes from a Social Network Diffusion Intervention to Increase Covid-19 Testing and Vaccination among Individuals Impacted by the Criminal Legal System in Urban U.S. Cities
Social network diffusion interventions are a promising strategy for promoting health behavior change at the community level. Individuals impacted by the criminal legal system (CLS) experienced disproportionately high morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the National Institutes of Health Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Underserved Populations (RADX-UP) initiative, we evaluated a group-level social network diffusion in…
Structural minority stress predicts suicidality, substance use, and sexual risk behaviors among sexual minority adolescents
This study examines associations between structural minority stress and behavioral health outcomes including suicidal ideation and behaviors, substance use, and sexual risk taking among sexual minority adolescents. Data were analyzed from the 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which included 3,996 sexual minority adolescents. A series of multi-level binomal logistic models were calculated to examine the association between state equity index and su…
Impulsivity and Early Initiation of Sexual Behaviors in Adolescents with Externalizing Disorders
Impulsivity, a multidimensional construct characterized by rash decision-making and difficulty delaying gratification, is a trait of externalizing disorders (e.g., attention-deficit/hyperactivity, disruptive, oppositional defiant, and conduct disorders) and has been associated with risk-taking behaviors. However, its association with risky sexual behaviors in this population remains limited. This observational study examined the association betwe…
Perception of Procedural Justice Amongst Previously Incarcerated Youth
Violence among incarcerated youths is a serious public health issue and an area of marked health disparities. Procedural Justice is an ethical framework to guide policy approaches in the criminal justice system. The purpose of our study was to evaluate youth perception of neutrality, respect, trust, and voice while incarcerated. Young people ages 14 to 21 previously incarcerated in a juvenile detention facility were interviewed regarding their pe…
Acceptability and Efficacy of an Adapted School-Based Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills Group for Adolescents
Adolescence is characterized by heightened emotion dysregulation, impulsivity, and engagement in high-risk behaviors, such as substance use, violence, and unprotected sexual activity. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents (DBT-A) is an evidence-based intervention that targets emotion regulation and impulsivity among adolescents, proven effective at decreasing high-risk behaviors. However, limited research exists on adolescents' perceptio…
Initial Validation of a Computerized Adaptive Test for Substance Use Disorder Identification in Adolescents
PURPOSE: Computerized adaptive tests (CATs) are highly efficient assessment tools that couple low patient and clinician time burden with high diagnostic accuracy. A CAT for substance use disorders (CAT-SUD-E) has been validated in adult populations but has yet to be tested in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to perform initial evaluation of the K-CAT-SUD-E (i.e., Kiddy-CAT-SUD-E) in an adolescent sample compared to a gold-standard diagn…

Mental health outcomes from direct and indirect exposure to firearm violence
Two-year prevalence rates of mental health and substance use disorder diagnoses among repeat arrestees
The point of diminishing returns in juvenile probation
Technical probation violations are common among probation-involved youth, and across many jurisdictions, may result in detention or residential placement. The current study examined prevalence of technical violations occurring during one's first probation period, the average time to technical violation, and individual-level and justice-related factors related to technical violations among probation-involved youth in a juvenile justice system. We …
How previously detained youths perceive “mental health” and “counseling”
Getting a Grip on My Depression
Latina (female) adolescents are more likely to experience depressive symptoms and less likely to receive mental health services than their non-Latina White peers. We aimed to develop a framework that explains how Latina adolescents experience, self-manage, and seek treatment for depressive symptoms. Latina young women ( n = 25, M age = 16.8 years) who experienced depressive symptoms during adolescence were recruited from clinical and community se…
Perceived Police Injustice, Moral Disengagement, and Aggression Among Juvenile Offenders
Social support as a buffer between discrimination and cigarette use in juvenile offenders
Epidemiology of Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Offenders Following Arrest or Incarceration
Objectives. We sought to estimate rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among criminal offenders in the 1 year after arrest or release from incarceration. Methods. We performed a retrospective cohort study of risk of having a positive STI (chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis) or incident-positive HIV test in the 1 year following arrest or incarceration in Marion County (Indianapolis), Indiana. Participants were 247 211 individuals with ar…
Behavioral Health Care Needs, Detention-Based Care, and Criminal Recidivism at Community Reentry From Juvenile Detention
Objectives. We examined the provision of behavioral health services to youths detained in Indiana between 2008 and 2012 and the impact of services on recidivism. Method. We obtained information about behavioral health needs, behavioral health treatment received, and recidivism within 12 months after release for 8363 adolescents (aged 12–18 years; 79.4% male). We conducted survival analyses to determine whether behavioral health services significa…
The effects of racial heterogeneity on mental health
A majority of detained adolescents experience mental health and substance use problems. Limited research has examined the interaction between the race/ethnicity of an individual youth and county-level racial heterogeneity on adolescent mental health outcomes. Participants were identified through a statewide mental health screening project that took place in detention centers across 11 different counties in a Midwestern state during January 1, 200…
Connection to mental health care upon community reentry for detained youth
Utilizing mental health care services can be a daunting process, particularly for youth upon community reentry from detention. The current study illustrates that individual, family-specific and systemic issues interact to facilitate or impair mental health care utilization. As such, in order to aid youth in accessing mental health care at detention release, systemic coordination efforts are necessary. The systematic coordination among caregivers,…
A Statewide Collaboration to Initiate Mental Health Screening and Assess Services for Detained Youths in Indiana
Objectives. We describe a statewide effort to implement detention-based mental health screening and assess follow-up services offered to detained youths in Indiana. Methods. A total of 25 265 detention stays (15 461 unique youths) occurred between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2011, across 16 detention centers participating in the Indiana Juvenile Mental Health Screening Project. We collected screening results and reports of detention-based f…
Gender Differences in the Association Between Perceived Discrimination and Adolescent Smoking
Associations between discrimination and smoking differ by gender. Girls' decreased smoking in higher-discrimination settings may be a result of protective factors associated with where they spend time. Boys' increased smoking in higher-discrimination settings may reflect increased stress from gender-specific targeting by police and businesses
