本研究是一项为期2年的随访女孩严重和慢性犯罪谁参加了随机临床试验进行了1997年至2002年比较多维治疗寄养（MTFC）和团体护理（N = 81）。女孩由少年法庭法官转介，在进入研究时平均有11个以上的刑事转介。控制初始状态的协方差模型的潜变量分析表明，MTFC在2年评估时预防犯罪的效果维持不变，如锁定设置的天数、刑事转介数量和自我报告的犯罪。一个潜在变量增长模型，重点是在整个研究过程中的个人轨迹的方差也证明了MTFC的疗效。在这两种情况下，随着时间的推移，年龄较大的女孩相对于年龄较小的女孩表现出较少的犯罪行为。讨论了从少年司法转介的青年对性别问题有敏感认识的方案拟订的影响。
This study is a 2-year follow-up of girls with serious and chronic delinquency who were enrolled in a randomized clinical trial conducted from 1997 to 2002 comparing multidimensional treatment foster care (MTFC) and group care (N = 81). Girls were referred by juvenile court judges and had an average of over 11 criminal referrals when they entered the study. A latent variable analysis of covariance model controlling for initial status demonstrated maintenance of effects for MTFC in preventing delinquency at the 2-year assessment, as measured by days in locked settings, number of criminal referrals, and self-reported delinquency. A latent variable growth model focusing on variance in individual trajectories across the course of the study also demonstrated the efficacy of MTFC. Older girls exhibited less delinquency over time relative to younger girls in both conditions. Implications for gender-sensitive programming for youths referred from juvenile justice are discussed.
