Screening, service provision, and information sharing practices of juvenile facilities

D. Michael Applegarth and Benjamin Adams

Children and Youth Services Review, 2023, vol. 148, issue C

Abstract: Using data from the Juvenile Residential Facility Census, this study examines national level facility practices related to screening and service provision for youth during their stay, and information sharing about youth upon their departure. Research has documented that youth in juvenile facilities have complex service needs in the areas of education, mental health, and substance use. Prior studies have documented that facilities struggle to provide adequate screening and service provision for youth during detention and placement. Additionally, limited research has examined screening and treatment information sharing by facilities about youth upon their departure. Having established and coordinated information sharing practices is critical to ensuring that appropriate community services are provided, youth receive sufficient support, continuity of care occurs, and caregivers are fully informed about the youth’s current needs.
