“…Also, similar to other recent studies (Aalsma et al, 2011; Archer et al, 2004; Archer et al, 2010; Grande et al, 2012; Grisso et al, 2001; Nordness et al, 2002; Stewart & Trupin, 2003), mean scores were higher for females than males on all subscales except thought disturbance (male only). While prior studies using samples dating from 2000 to 2006 found the Angry/Irritable subscale to be the most highly endorsed subscale with Alcohol/Drug Use the second (Archer et al, 2010; Butler et al, 2007; Grisso et al, 2001; Nordness et al, 2002), this study, as well as a recent Australian study (Stathis et al, 2008) relying on samples dating from 2005 to 2010, found Alcohol/Drug Use as being the most highly endorsed subscale.…”

“…However, due to the high amount of variability of the data as indicated by each scale's associated standard deviation, the study supports the previous findings that a high percentage of incarcerated youth qualify for a mental health disorder (Gretton & Clift, 2011;Nordness et al, 2002;Stathis et al, 2008;Stewart & Trupin, 2003), further suggesting that the MAYSI-2 accurately detects potential pathology. Also, similar to other recent studies (Aalsma et al, 2011;Archer et al, 2004;Archer et al, 2010;Grande et al, 2012;Grisso et al, 2001;Nordness et al, 2002;Stewart & Trupin, 2003), mean scores were higher for females than males on all subscales except thought disturbance (male only).

The high prevalence of mental health disorders among incarcerated juveniles is a matter of national and global concern. Juvenile justice personnel need accurate screening measures that identify youth requiring immediate mental health services. The purpose of this study was threefold: (a) to examine the utility of the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument, Version 2 (MAYSI-2) in identifying juveniles with mental health concerns in a large sample of juveniles (N = 4,009), (b) to provide data regarding rates of identified mental health needs in incarcerated youth, and (c) to provide descriptive comparisons to other studies using the MAYSI-2. Mean scores of subscales were compared with the MAYSI-2 normative samples and other recent studies. Results indicated that this population has a high occurrence of mental health symptoms and there is high variability in the severity of the symptoms. In addition, a multivariate analysis of variance test found significant differences in mental health problems across ethnic groups.

“…Justice-involved youth report elevated rates of mental health problems [3][4][5][6], substance misuse [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], and risky sexual activity [11,21], and compared to non-justice-involved peers, they are more likely to test positive for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) [22]. Incarceration during adolescence is associated with poor long-term outcomes [23][24][25][26][27][28], yet it is also an ideal opportunity to deliver intervention programs that address frequently co-occurring health problems. Unfortunately, few evidence-based programs (EBPs) exist for justice-involved adolescents, and those that have demonstrated efficacy go largely unused [29,30].…”

Background Justice-involved youth are especially vulnerable to mental health distress, substance misuse, and risky sexual activity, amplifying the need for evidence-based programs (EBPs). Yet, uptake of EBPs in the justice system is challenging because staff training is costly in time and effort. Hence, justice-involved youth experience increasing health disparities despite the availability of EBPs. Objective To counter these challenges, this study develops and pilot-tests a prototype of a technology-based training tool that teaches juvenile justice staff to deliver a uniquely tailored EBP for justice-involved youth—PHAT (Preventing HIV/AIDS Among Teens) Life. PHAT Life is a comprehensive sex education, mental health, and substance use EBP collaboratively designed and tested with guidance from key stakeholders and community members. The training tool addresses implementation barriers that impede uptake and sustainment of EBPs, including staff training and support and implementation costs. Methods Staff (n=11) from two juvenile justice settings pilot-tested the technology-based training tool, which included five modules. Participants completed measures of HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) knowledge, sex education confidence, and implementation outcomes such as training satisfaction, adoption, implementation, acceptability, appropriateness, and sustainability. PHAT Life trainers assessed fidelity through two activity role plays participants submitted upon completing the training modules. Results Participants demonstrated increases in HIV and STI knowledge (t10=3.07; P=.01), and were very satisfied (mean 4.42, SD 0.36) with the training tool and the PHAT Life curriculum. They believed that the training tool and curriculum could be adopted, implemented, and sustained within their settings as an appropriate and acceptable intervention and training. Conclusions Overall, the results from this pilot test demonstrate feasibility and support continuing efforts toward completing the training tool and evaluating it within a fully powered randomized controlled trial. Ultimately, this study will provide a scalable option for disseminating an EBP and offers a more cost-effective and sustainable way to train staff in an EBP.
