| Description: |
This study seeks to address the question: " What strategies or approaches hold promise for changing the disproportionate and challenging health and social outcomes for African American and Latino adolescents?" It creates a multi-faceted approach for decreasing the negative trajectory for and promoting the mental health of juvenile offenders. The project has two aims, first, to identify the prevalent criminal offenses and mental health disorders that must be targeted, and, to identify typologies of communities, that when targeted via prevention and intervention strategies will have maximum effectiveness in meeting juvenile offender needs and can be generalized to other communities. |
