Abstract

Social determinants of health influence who ends up in the juvenile legal system and how individuals fare when entering and leaving the system. The present study utilized latent profile analysis to determine the extent to which social determinants of health were present in a sample of incarcerated youth and the patterns in which they appear. The authors then examined their relationships to racial groups, depression, substance misuse, and recidivism risk. Data were from 1288 adolescent boys sentenced to a juvenile prison in one Southeastern state for serious offending (i.e., repeat offenses, offenses involving physical or sexual violence). We ran a latent class analysis to test for patterns with which youth present with various social determinants of health. Profiles with more violence exposure and higher social support were comprised of more Black boys than the referent profile. Property and sexual offenses also differed significantly from the referent profile. Altogether, results from our examination of selected social determinants of health indicated such factors meaningfully contribute to our understanding of experiences of young people in the juvenile legal system and may be targets for mental health and substance use intervention as they may contribute to problem behaviors or negative outcomes.

证明需要筛选进入少年监狱的男孩健康的社会决定因素:一项潜在特征分析。

健康的社会决定因素影响谁最终进入少年法律体系，以及个人在进入和离开该体系时的表现。本研究利用潜在剖面分析来确定健康的社会决定因素在被监禁青年样本中存在的程度及其出现的模式。然后，作者检查了他们与种族群体、抑郁症、药物滥用和再犯风险的关系。数据来自东南部一个州因严重犯罪(即重复犯罪，涉及身体或性暴力的犯罪)而被判入狱的1288名青少年男孩。我们进行了潜在阶级分析，以测试青少年呈现各种健康社会决定因素的模式。与参照侧写相比，有更多暴力接触和更高社会支持的侧写包含更多黑人男孩。财产犯罪和性犯罪也与参考资料有很大不同。总之，我们对选定的健康社会决定因素的研究结果表明，这些因素有助于我们理解青少年在少年法律体系中的经历，并且可能成为心理健康和药物使用干预的目标，因为它们可能导致问题行为或负面结果。
