“…Regarding the reference team, the main change identified was the inclusion of the mental health professional in the primary care reference team. It should be noted that this is a recurring demand from the sectors involved in the SINASE since it is one of the central health demands of this population, which corroborates with international studies [18][19][20][21] . The increased resolution capacity of the Primary Health Care -PHC using expanded services, adding a mental health professional to the team, allows the access to diagnostic and therapeutic means, seeking to avoid the discontinuity and fragmentation of the integrality of the care 22 .…”

Resumo A efetivação do direito à saúde de adolescentes e jovens privados de liberdade no Brasil é tarefa complexa que nos coloca frente às iniquidades em saúde e às intervenções sobre seus determinantes sociais. Sendo assim, o presente estudo buscou contribuir com a discussão sobre o direito à saúde dessa população, a partir da análise da implementação da Política de Atenção Integral à Saúde de Adolescentes em Conflito com a Lei (PNAISARI). Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem analítica, utilizando análise documental dos marcos normativos e de dados de monitoramento e avaliação da política. Em suma, os resultados sugerem que a política fortalece a efetivação do direito a saúde dessa população. Entretanto, sua implementação necessita ser fomentada e qualificada para que o acesso aos cuidados em saúde seja de fato uma realidade em todos os estados e municípios.

“…Confined youth have a constitutional right to adequate medical and mental health care 47,48 ; however, because of the lack of clearly defined federal standards and differences in state laws regarding the provision of health care for confined youth, on-site medical and mental health care services vary widely between jurisdictions and correctional facilities. 49 States, counties, or private contractors may provide health care services for confined youth. 50 Federal law prohibits the use of Medicaid funds for inmates of a public institution, 50 and local governments (states, counties, cities) are responsible for funding health care services for confined youth.…”

Children and adolescents who become involved with the justice system often do so with complex medical, mental health, developmental, social, and legal needs. Most have been exposed to childhood trauma or adversity, which both contribute to their involvement with the justice system and negatively impact their health and well-being. Whether youth are held in confinement or in their home communities, pediatricians play a critical role in promoting the health and well-being of justice-involved youth. Having a working knowledge of the juvenile justice system and common issues facing justice-involved youth may help pediatricians enhance their clinical care and advocacy efforts. This policy statement is a revision of the 2011 policy "Health Care for Youth in the Juvenile Justice System." It provides an overview of the juvenile justice system, describes racial bias and overrepresentation of youth of color in the justice system, reviews the health and mental health status of justice-involved youth, and identifies advocacy opportunities for juvenile justice reform.

“…In addition to having greater psychosocial and behavioral health needs compared to boys in the juvenile justice system, justice-involved girls are more likely to have unmet physical health needs (Braverman, 2011), including significant unmet SRH needs. Current research related to SRH care is mostly limited to detained girls; however, emerging studies on CINI girls suggest similar risk factors for and pathways into justice involvement as detained girls (Crosby et al, 2004;Perry & Morris, 2014;Sedlak & Bruce, 2010). There is also emerging evidence on SRH needs for CINI girls (Tolou-Shams et al, Under Review; Tolou-Shams & Dauria, 2016).…”

“…Other risks are also prevalent in studies with justiceinvolved samples: One study reported that 19% of detained girls (n = 197) disclosed exchanging sex for money or drugs within the previous two months (Crosby et al, 2004). Detained girls also have significantly higher rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned teen pregnancies relative to their non-justice involved peers (Crosby et al, 2004;Perry & Morris, 2014).…”

Arrested girls in the United States (US) are often diverted from detention through referrals to juvenile specialty courts (e.g., juvenile drug court), community-based diversion programs, or preadjudicated probation services. Limited research suggests that sexual and reproductive health needs for diverted, or court-involved, non-incarcerated (CINI) girls are similar to that of their detained counterparts. Despite the US justice system's emphasis on diverting youth from detention, research and programmatic efforts to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes has primarily focused on detained girls. Policy and programming for CINI girls is scant and thus warrants further attention. This report details the immediate sexual and reproductive health needs of CINI girls. We discuss implications of current health care policies and practices for this population and conclude with recommendations for research focused on improving access to sexual and reproductive health care.
