Health Care of Incarcerated Youth: State Programs & Initiatives.
Thompson, Linda S.; Sheahan, Paula M.
This report presents the analysis and results of a survey of states' progress in meeting the goals and objectives of their state action plans on the health care of incarcerated youth. The survey questioned 48 juvenile justice professionals, health care professionals, and university faculty from across the nation concerning state progress toward action plan objectives, barriers to progress, youth health problems, and target population. It found that 1 respondent reported meeting all of the state action plan objectives, 28 respondents reported meeting some of the objectives, and 7 reported meeting none of the objectives The bulk of the report consists of 1- or 2-page listings for each state which outline incarcerated youth health care goals, objectives, program action, community actions, state actions, accomplishments, current initiatives, and contact persons for each state, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands. A copy of a follow-up survey is included. (MDM)
