| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 6MbR0x1O. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We evaluated how improved mental health services affect justice involvement among juveniles treated in the public mental health system. Methods : Our analyses were based on administrative and interview data collected in 2 communities participating in the evaluation of a national initiative designed to improve mental health services for children and youths. Results : Results derived from Cox proportional hazard models suggested that better mental health services reduced the risks of initial and subsequent juvenile justice involvement by 31% and 28%, respectively. Effects were somewhat more pronounced for serious offenses. Conclusions : Our findings suggest that improved mental health services reduce the risk of juvenile justice involvement. |
