Abstract

The Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument (MAYSI-2) is one of the most widely utilized screening measures for detecting mental health concerns among youth entering juvenile detention settings. Previous research has demonstrated clear patterns of sex differences in the severity of mental health symptoms among detained boys and girls. However, few studies have examined potential racial or ethnic differences in MAYSI-2 scores, which is a significant limitation. This study examined sex and racial/ethnic differences in patterns of youth responses on the MAYSI-2. Data were collected from a total of 5417 youth detained in a short-term detention facility in the Mountain West. Results of latent profile analyses demonstrated that, among both boys and girls, youths’ racial/ethnic identity was associated with distinct patterns of responding on the MAYSI-2. These findings have implications for informing screening in the juvenile justice system and increasing recognition and response to ethnic/racial and sex differences among detained youth.

马萨诸塞州青少年筛查工具的潜在反应概况——参与青少年司法的男孩和女孩按种族/民族划分的2分量表

马萨诸塞州青少年筛查工具（MAYSI-2）是最广泛使用的筛查措施之一，用于检测进入青少年拘留场所的青少年的心理健康问题。先前的研究表明，在被拘留的男孩和女孩中，心理健康症状严重程度存在明显的性别差异。然而，很少有研究考察MAYSI-2评分中潜在的种族或民族差异，这是一个显著的限制。本研究调查了青年对MAYSI-2反应模式的性别和种族/民族差异。数据是从被拘留在西部山区一个短期拘留所的5417名青年身上收集的。潜在特征分析结果表明，在男孩和女孩中，青年的种族/民族认同与MAYSI-2的不同反应模式有关。这些发现对少年司法系统中的筛查提供了信息，并提高了对被拘留青年种族/种族和性别差异的认识和回应。
