Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examined medical files for former residents of a juvenile residential facility. A review of medical files for 135 adolescents adjudicated for sexual offenses revealed 57 (42.2%) received one or more psychotropic medications during their stay. The most frequently prescribed psychotropic medications for residents were stimulants (53.6%), antidepressants (50.9%), and antipsychotics (19.3%). Some residents simultaneously received two (n = 15; 26.3%), three (n= 6; 10.5%), four (n= 6; 10.53%), five (n = 4; 7.02%), and six (n = 1; 1.75%) psychotropic medications. Nevertheless, 22 (38.6%) of the 57 residents who received psychotropic medication experienced discontinuation of all psychotropic medication prior to discharge. Individuals who received antipsychotic medication were (a) most likely to receive multiple psychotropic medications and (b) least likely to experience discontinuation of any medication. Similarly, residents who entered the facility with psychotropic medication were less likely to experience discontinuation than those who received psychotropic medication after intake.

少年司法机构的精神药物处方:有限停药过程的证据

摘要本研究调查了一所青少年收容机构的前居民的医疗档案。一项对135名被判性犯罪的青少年的医疗档案的审查显示，57人（42.2%）在逗留期间服用了一种或多种精神药物。居民最常服用的精神药物是兴奋剂（53.6%）、抗抑郁药（50.9%）和抗精神病药（19.3%）。一些居民同时服用了两种（n=15；26.3%）、三种（n=6；10.5%）、四种（n=6；10.53%）、五种（n=4；7.02%）和六种（n=1；1.75%）精神药物。然而，在57名接受精神药物治疗的居民中，有22人（38.6%）在出院前停止了所有精神药物治疗。接受抗精神病药物治疗的个体（a）最有可能接受多种精神药物治疗，（b）最不可能停药。同样，与服用精神药物的居民相比，服用精神药物进入该设施的居民不太可能出现停药的情况。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
