项目摘要

This project addresses the critical need to link troubled youths entering the juvenile justice system with needed substance, mental health and other services. Large proportions of these youths and their families do not become engaged in needed services; and, hence, cannot benefit from these services. This project will implement and test an innovative service connection strategy, based on a case management model. The five year randomized experimental, prospective longitudinal study will address three research aims: (1) identifying the relationships between youths' substance abuse, mental health or other service needs and their referrals to substance abuse, mental health or other agencies/programs, (2) using a design with random assignment, evaluating the impact of an intensive case management service for improving troubled youths' and their families' linkage with, placement into, and utilization of substance abuse, mental health or other services, and (3) evaluating the outcome of case management and the youths' substance abuse, mental health or other service experiences in regard to their substance use, delinquency/crime and other areas of psychosocial functioning. Youths entering a centralized Juvenile Assessment Center in Tampa, Florida on felony charges or misdemeanor firearm charges are the target group for this project. Youths whose preliminary screening results indicate potential problems needing in-depth assessment will be randomly assigned to two experimental groups: Intensive Case Management or Business as Usual. Approximately 324 White male, 216 Black male, 108 White female and 72 Black female youths will be involved in the study. Extensive demographic, substance use, psychosocial functioning and official record data will be collected over a four year period. Numerous project research and practitioner reports will be prepared. The data will enable us to test a number of hypotheses regarding the usefulness of the innovative service linkage strategy in improving service connection and utilization, as well as the impact of service experiences on improvements in the youths' functioning over time. The project's findings will improve our understanding of how high risk youths and their families can be involved in needed care.

该项目解决了将问题青年进入少年司法系统所需的实质内容、心理健康和其他服务。这些年轻人和他们的家人中有很大一部分人没有从事所需的服务；因此无法从这些服务中受益服务。该项目将实施并测试一项创新服务基于案例管理模型的连接策略。五年随机实验，前瞻性纵向研究将涉及三个研究目的：(1)确定青少年物质之间的关系虐待、精神健康或其他服务需要及其转介到药物滥用、精神健康或其他机构/计划，(2)使用随机分配设计，评估密集案例的影响改善问题青少年及其家庭的管理服务与药物滥用、精神疾病和精神疾病的联系、安置和使用健康或其他服务，以及(3)评估病例的结果管理和青少年的药物滥用、心理健康或其他服务在药物使用、犯罪/犯罪和其他方面的经验心理社会功能领域。青少年进入佛罗里达州坦帕市的中央青少年评估中心重罪指控或轻罪枪械指控是这个项目。初步筛查结果显示需要深入评估的潜在问题将被随机分配到两个试验组：密集案例管理或商业AS 和往常一样。大约324名白人男性，216名黑人男性，108名白人女性和 72名黑人女青年将参与这项研究。广泛性人口统计、药物使用、心理社会功能和官方记录数据将在四年内收集。众多项目研究并将准备从业者报告。这些数据将使我们能够测试一些关于创新的有用性的假设提高业务连接和利用率的业务联动策略，以及服务体验对改善随着时间的推移，年轻人会发挥作用。该项目的发现将改善我们的了解高危青少年及其家人的参与程度在需要照顾的地方。
