Keywords: | Prevalence rates; Mental health problems; Male young offenders; Custodial versus community-based programs; Juvenile justice interventions | Issue Date: | 2016 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health | Volume: | 10 | Issue: | 1 | Abstract: | Young offenders are known to be a population with high prevalence of mental health disorders. In most cases, these disorders are neither identified nor treated properly, with the majority of them being chronic and difficult to treat. In many countries, the prevalence rates of psychopathology in male young offenders are still unknown and no psychotherapeutic interventions are delivered. Therefore, the main goal of the present study was to assess mental health problems in Portuguese male young offenders placed in either custodial or community-based programs and discuss treatment implications within the juvenile justice interventions. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/46629 | DOI: | 10.1186/s13034-016-0131-6 | Rights: | openAccess |
