面对一半至三分之二的青少年患有可诊断的精神疾病，对于与青少年司法系统有联系的从事青少年工作的专业人员来说，识别和治疗心理健康问题是一项至关重要的工作。此外，文献表明，与家庭和青少年性别相关的因素必须纳入对这一特殊人群的任何评估和干预方法中。此外，先前记录了性别和家庭问题与青少年种族/族裔之间相互作用的工作值得进一步的实证关注，家庭在内化和外化行为发展中可能发挥的中介作用也是如此。本研究扩展了这一文献，以 2,549 名引起少年法庭注意的白人和非裔美国青年为样本，考察与性别、种族/民族、家庭因素和心理健康问题相关的因素。方差结果的多变量分析表明，性别和种族/民族具有显着的主效应，并且家庭和外化变量具有显着的性别与种族/民族交互作用。采用多组结构方程建模程序来检验家庭环境介导性别和心理健康问题之间关系的假设，并检验这些关系作为种族/民族函数的潜在差异。结果表明，非裔美国青年样本支持中介模型，但白人青年样本不支持。
Faced with anywhere between one half and two thirds of its youth having a diagnosable mental illness, the identification and treatment of mental health concerns is a critically important endeavor for professionals working with youth who have contact with the juvenile justice system. In addition, the literature suggests that factors related to both the family and to the gender of the adolescent must be incorporated into any approach to assessment and intervention within this special population. Further, prior work that has documented the interaction of gender and family issues with adolescent race/ethnicity warrants further empirical attention, as does the intermediary role that the family may play in the development of both internalizing and externalizing behaviors. The present study extends this literature by examining factors related to gender, race/ethnicity, family factors, and mental health issues in a sample of 2,549 Caucasian and African American youth coming to the attention of juvenile courts. Multivariate analysis of variance results indicated significant main effects for gender and race/ethnicity, as well as a significant gender x race/ethnicity interaction for the family and externalizing variables. A multiple group structural equation modeling procedure was employed in order to test the hypothesis that family environment mediates the relationship between gender and mental health problems, as well as to test for potential differences in these relationships as a function of race/ethnicity. Results indicated support for the mediation model in the sample of African American youth but not in the sample of Caucasian youth.
