这篇文章探讨了在社区安置的青少年中使用精神药物的情况。数据1来自国家心理健康研究所资助的一项研究，该研究涉及治疗性寄养（1999年6月至2001年5月）和集体之家（2001年1月至6月）。通过面对面访谈的方式向工作人员收集数据。在这两种环境中，许多年轻人都接受了精神药物治疗，大约一半的人在教育中服用了多种精神药物。在控制了人口统计学和临床因素后，在集体之家的青少年接受药物治疗的可能性几乎是在治疗性寄养的青少年的两倍。然而，居住环境与多药理学无关。需要进一步的工作来研究使用这种模式的适当性及其对干预研究的影响。结果。
This article examines the use of psychotropic medications among youths in residential community-based placements. Data I are from a study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health of therapeutic foster care (June 1999 through May 2001) and group homes, (January through June 2001). Data were collected from staff by means of in-person interviews. Many youths in both, settings received psychotropic medications, and, approximately one-half were taking multiple psychotropic in educations. After the authors controlled for demographic and clinical factors, the youths in group homes were nearly twice as likely as the youths in therapeutic foster care to receive medication. However, residential setting was not related to polypharmacology. Additional work is needed to study the appropriateness of use and implications of such patterns for research on intervention. outcomes.
