- Summary:
-
"In 2003, the NSW Department of Juvenile Justice (now Juvenile Justice NSW), in collaboration with Justice Health (now the Justice Health & Forensic Mental Health Network), conducted the first Young People in Custody Health Survey (YPICHS), a comprehensive assessment of the physical and mental health of young offenders in custody in NSW 1. The survey was repeated in 2009 2, with the addition of a diagnostic instrument for mental illness and a longitudinal component entailing 3-, 6 - and 12-month follow-ups of participants. The 2003 and 2009 surveys revealed that young people in custody experience greater social disadvantage, poorer physical and mental health, and higher rates of alcohol and illicit drug use than their counterparts in the community and that this is especially the case for Aboriginal young people. These findings have been used to inform policy development, service enhancements and improvements in clinical practice, and have been disseminated via numerous peer-reviewed articles on a wide range of topics, including smoking, overweight and obesity, oral health, traumatic brain injury, intellectual disability and childhood trauma. The current report presents the findings of the 2015 YPICHS. Results are presented by gender and Aboriginality and, where possible, comparisons are made with findings from 2003 and 2009." -- Executive summary, page xix.
