ABSTRACT Research has shown that youthful offenders in the juvenile justice system report an array of substance use and emotional and other mental health needs. The current study closely examined these issues in a large national sample (n = 539) of Native American youth drawn from the Survey of Youth in Residential Placement. Results demonstrated that frequent substance use was associated with the likelihood of being detained for a drug offense, while emotional and mental health needs were associated with detention for the most serious offenses. These results highlight the need for comprehensive substance use and other mental health assessments for Native American youth in the juvenile justice system.

美国原住民青少年在青少年拘留中的心理健康，物质使用和犯罪方式

摘要研究表明，少年司法系统中的少年犯报告了一系列的物质使用以及情绪和其他精神健康需求。当前的研究从居住在美国的青年调查中，在全国性的美国原住民青年样本中（n = 539）仔细研究了这些问题。结果表明，频繁吸毒与毒品犯罪被拘留的可能性有关，而情绪和精神健康的需要与最严重犯罪的拘留有关。这些结果突显了青少年司法系统中需要对美洲原住民青年进行全面的药物使用和其他心理健康评估。
