“…In a recent study with older prisoners, depressive disorder and symptoms of depression were the most prevalent psychological issues reported (Stoliker & Galli, 2019). Similar to research with younger adults (Holzer et al, 2018), these results differed with respect to gender. Female prisoners were significantly more likely to report a depressive disorder as well as to receive mental health treatment prior to prison (Stoliker & Galli, 2019).…”

Studies on criminal behaviors largely focus on youth and younger adults. While criminal engagement declines with age, the aging population and significant costs associated with older offenders warrant their increased clinical and research attention. The present study utilizes data from the 2002 to 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health to estimate the prevalence and explore the sociodemographic and psychosocial correlates of criminal behavior in adults aged 50 years and older. The overall prevalence of older adults engaging in criminal behaviors during this time was approximately 1.20%. There was no significant difference in crime involvement between adults aged 50 to 64 years and 65 years and older. Older individuals who committed crimes were more likely to be male and Black and earning low income. Criminality was also associated with use of illicit substances and depression as well as receipt of mental health treatment.

“…Several items were measured related to behavioral health. Consistent with recent NSDUH-based research ( Holzer et al, 2018 ; Oh et al, 2018 ), we used a dichotomous measure of one or more major depressive episodes (MDE) in the past 12 months (0 = no episode , 1 = one or more episodes ) ( American Psychiatric Association, 2013 ). We also examined self-reported cigarette use , binge alcohol use , cannabis use , and other illicit drug use (0 = no , 1 = yes ).…”

Purpose This study sought to examine the trends in Internet support group (ISG) participation among U.S. adults and to investigate the sociodemographic and behavioral health profiles of ISG participants. Methods Data was derived from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2004–2018, n = 625,883). Logistic regression was used to examine significance of trend year and correlates of ISG participation. Latent class analysis was conducted to identify subtypes of ISG participants. Results The proportion of U.S. adults participating in ISG increased significantly from 2.29% (2004–2007) to 3.55% (2016–2018). ISG participants were less likely to be male, 35 or older, be part of an ethnic/racial minority group, or have household incomes between $20,000 and $49,999. Black/African American participants and those classified as “other” race showed the largest percent increases, while Hispanics showed no change. ISG participants were more likely to have experienced a depressive episode and to have used cannabis. Three subtypes of ISG participants were identified, including the Lower Behavioral Health Risk group (62%), the Elevated Behavioral Health Risk group (24%), and the Depression, Cigarettes, and Cannabis group (14%). Conclusion Overall, we found an increasing trend in seeking mental health care through ISG among US adults since the early 2000s. While disparities among some disadvantaged groups such as Blacks/African Americans and individuals with lower household income were diminishing, continuing efforts to engage men, older adults, and Hispanics in ISG are needed. This investigation also identified distinct subtypes of ISG participants and provides important implications for future research on ISG.

“…According to General Strain Theory (Agnew et al, 2002), delinquent behaviors are methods used by the offenders to offload negative emotions generated from daily strains. For example, excessive alcohol consumption and illicit drug use are employed by young people to soothe their negative emotions and uplift their moods (Holzer et al, 2018). Matsuura et al (2013) found that a high level of depression was associated with a high level of aggressive behavior among Japanese female juvenile offenders.…”

Purpose: This study compared Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Activity-based Supportive Counselling (treatment-as-usual; TAU) for reducing delinquency, psychological risk factors, mental health symptoms, and improving the quality of life among at-risk youths in Hong Kong outreaching social services. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, non-custodial youths with delinquency and mental health issues underwent eight sessions of CBT ( n = 24), MBCT ( n = 30), or TAU ( n = 61). Results: Dependent-sample t-test showed CBT reduced mental health symptoms and delinquency. TAU reduced mental health symptoms and improved quality of life. MBCT resulted in no significant change. Time x group ANCOVA underscored TAU in improving quality of life. Hierarchical linear regression showed decreases in delinquency and mental health symptoms mediated by decreases in psychological risk factors. Discussion: Results suggest that outreaching social service agencies in Hong Kong could enhance their intervention by augmenting the sports and leisure activities of TAU with structured CBT programs.
