有关弱势青年使用心理健康服务的研究有限。本研究使用了扩展版本的安德森的行为模式的卫生服务使用，以评估与使用不同类型的心理健康服务的样本中，主要是非洲裔美国人16-24奥尔兹（n= 500）在就业培训计划在巴尔的摩市的相关因素。结果表明，参与者更有可能在惩教设施比在社区或学校的背景下接受心理健康服务。在惩教设施中使用心理健康服务的男性，那些不到18岁的人，以及那些经历过更多压力事件的人明显更多。调查结果表明，需要在多种情况下，包括刑事司法系统，为弱势青年人提供无缝的心理健康服务。
Research related to mental health service use among vulnerable young adults is limited. This study used an expanded version of Andersen’s Behavioral Model of Health Services Use to evaluate factors associated with the use of different types of mental health services among a sample of predominantly African-American 16–24 year olds (n= 500) in an employment training program in Baltimore City. Results indicated that participants were more likely to have received mental health services in correctional facilities than in community- or school-based contexts. Use of mental health services in correctional facilities was significantly greater among males, those less than 18 years, and those who experienced more stressful events. Findings illustrate the need to develop seamless mental health services for vulnerable young adults in multiple contexts, including the criminal justice system.
