Study Questions 1)What is the prevalence of mental health problems among youth involved with Child Welfare? 2)To what extent are mental health problems associated with court involvement? 3)How are Medicaid insurance and court involvement associated with access to treatment services?

National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW)  Available through the National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect at Cornell University  Longitudinal study of children who were subjects of investigations of child abuse/neglect between October 1999 and December 2000 (N = 5,501)  4 waves of data: baseline, 12 months, 18 months, 36 months  Ages 0 – 14 years at baseline

NSCAW Methods  4 possible respondents: child, current caregiver, caseworker, and teacher  Complex 2-stage sample design 92 PSUs 9 strata Over-sampled: Children/families receiving services, infants, and sexually abused children Analytic weights for sample design and non-response Estimates nationally representative of Child Welfare population

Study Sample and Measures  Adolescents age 11 – 14 at baseline (n=1,080)  Court involvement = went to court for misbehaving (assessed by current caregiver) between baseline and Wave 3  Risky substance use = scale created using past 30 day use of all substances as reported by adolescent at baseline  CBCL assessed by caregiver at baseline  Service use assessed by caseworker at Wave 2/3

Baseline Demographics %n Race White Black Hispanic Male In-home Medicaid Age (mean, SD)12.5 yrs (0.7 yrs)

Baseline Mental Health Problems %n Clinically significant CBCL (>= 64) Internalizing Externalizing Total Risky use of substances

What is the prevalence of mental health problems among youth involved with Child Welfare?  Prevalence of behavior problems was fairly high: 43% for externalizing and 33% for internalizing Not an issue of gender – prevalence was similar among boys and girls  27% used substances in past month

To what extent are mental health problems associated with court involvement?  Externalizing problems significantly increased likelihood of court involvement; internalizing problems had no effect  Substance use increased likelihood of court involvement  Older adolescents more likely to become involved with courts

How are Medicaid insurance and court involvement associated with access to treatment services?  Medicaid did not have a significant effect on access to treatment  Court involvement increased likelihood of receiving MH and substance use services  Black and Hispanic adolescents were less likely to receive services than White adolescents
