Assessing Mental Health Problems Among Serious Delinquents Committed to the California Youth Authority, 1997-1999
This study was conducted to explore the usefulness of the
instruments used in the California Youth Authority's (CYA) Treatment
Needs Assessment (TNA) battery. A total of 836 wards who completed
screening questionnaires were followed to determine whether they were
subsequently placed in mental health programs, were prescribed
medications used to treat serious mental health problems, and/or were
identified by staff as requiring these services. Data for this study
were collected from hard-copy files maintained in CYA ward
institutions and the CYA central office. Specific variables include
the scale scores of the four instruments used in the TNA, demographic
variables of the ward, treatment received by the ward, and ward
behavior.
