Little is known about the experience of professional burnout among juvenile probation officers. Following a statewide survey, 26 officers were randomly selected for qualitative interviews. Using emergent, consensus-based methods, we identified key aspects experience. Officers described in ways consistent with research definitions. Most negative effects burnout, including spending less time getting to know clients and becoming more directive. Probation tended have limited strategies managing...
We describe a statewide effort to implement detention-based mental health screening and assess follow-up services offered detained youths in Indiana.A total of 25,265 detention stays (15,461 unique youths) occurred between January 1, 2008, December 31, 2011, across 16 centers participating the Indiana Juvenile Mental Health Screening Project. collected results reports referrals from justice system records.Approximately 21% screened positive for issues requiring follow-up.

Abstract Introduction Rates of substance use are high among youth involved in the legal system (YILS); however, YILS less likely to initiate and complete treatment compared their non legally-involved peers. There multiple steps connecting needed services, from screening referral within juvenile initiation completion behavioral health system. Understanding potential gaps care continuum requires data decision-making these two systems. The current study reports on development dashboards that...
Overdose Fatality Review (OFR) is an important public health tool for shaping overdose prevention strategies in communities. However, OFR teams review only a few cases at time, which typically represent small fraction of the total fatalities their jurisdiction. Such limited could result partial understanding local patterns, leading to policy recommendations that do not fully address broader community needs.
This pilot study assessed whether police officers and juvenile justice personnel reported improved attitudes toward youth knowledge about de-escalation skills after attending Policing the Teen Brain, a training created to prevent arrests by improving officer-youth interactions. Pre- post-intervention surveys asked participant adolescents, adolescence as stressful stage, punishing in system. Among 232 participants, paired sample t-tests indicated significant differences between mean pre-...
Objective: To replicate and extend a study by the Agency for Healthcare Research Quality (AHRQ) Rutgers on antipsychotic use among youths in Medicaid, authors analyzed Indiana Medicaid claims from 2004 to 2012, extending earlier focusing second-generation antipsychotics, including both fee-for-service (FFS) non-FFS patients, analyzing cost trends. Methods: The evaluated impact of several policy changes medication utilization children enrolled at least one month during 2004–2012...
Integrating electronic health records (EHR) with other sources of administrative data is key to identifying factors affecting the long-term traditionally underserved populations, such as individuals involved in justice system. Linking existing from multiple overcomes many limitations traditional prospective studies population health, but linking process assumes high levels quality and consistency within data. Studies EHR, unlike types data, have provided guidance evaluate utility big for...
Rates of youth behavioral health concerns have been steadily rising. Administrative data can be used to study service utilization among youth, but current methods that rely on identifying an associated diagnosis or provider specialty are limited. We reviewed all procedure codes billed Medicaid for in one U.S. county over a 10-year period. identified 158 outpatient and classified them according type. This classification system by services researchers better characterize utilization.

Research demonstrates gaps in medications for opioid use disorder uptake (MOUDs; methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone) especially among adolescents. These may be partly attributable to attitudes about training MOUDs youth-serving professionals. We extended prior research by conducting descriptive analyses of regarding effectiveness acceptability MOUDs, as well youth legal system (YLS) employees community mental health center (CMHC) personnel who interface professionally with youth.
Importance Prescribing medications for opioid use disorders (MOUD), including buprenorphine, naltrexone, and methadone, to adolescents remains an underused evidence-based strategy reducing harms associated with use. Objective To identify potential associations between clinician- community-level characteristics regarding clinicians’ self-reported willingness prescribe MOUD adolescents. Design, Setting, Participants This cross-sectional study included a phone survey of Indiana clinicians...
Youth involved in the legal system have disproportionately higher rates of problematic substance use than non-involved youth. Identifying and connecting legal-involved youth to intervention is critical relies on connection between behavioral health agencies, which may be facilitated by learning systems (LHS). We analyzed impact an LHS personnel ratings their cross-system collaboration. also examined organizational climate toward evidence-based practice (EBP) over above intervention. Data...
