SignificanceUsing 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. ResultsFrom 2010 to 2018, the proportion of facilities that screened all youth for education (86.6 %–88.4 %), mental health needs (56.7 %–63.4 %), suicidality (89.5 %–94.6 %), and substance use (70.2 %–75.2 %) varied. In 2018, over 90 % of facilities reported at least some youth received educational services, mental health therapy and/or medications, and just over three quarters of facilities indicated they provide some youth with substance use treatment. When examining how many facilities provided services for all youth, the proportions were noticeably lower. For information sharing practices, the education status and needs of youth were most likely to be shared at departure with the new placement or legal caregiver. Over 90 % of facilities shared information regarding education, mental health, and substance use for some youth upon departure. When looking at the percent of facilities that share this information for all youth, education information sharing decreases to near 80 % and mental health and substance use drops below 70 %. ImplicationsResults suggest there is room for improvement. Deepening our understanding of why, when, and how facilities share information about youth with other stakeholders and identifying the gaps that exist is important to inform strategies that better match youth needs with appropriate and coordinated services. Early identification of needs, the provision of quality services, and comprehensive information sharing are all critical to preventing further system involvement and promoting positive outcomes for youth in placement.
