This project continues the work of grant #1999-JE-FX-1001, a longitudinal study of alcohol, drug and mental disorders in detained youth. This project examines the progression and remission of these disorders among the youth as they age; youth service needs, barriers to service access, and service utilization; and patterns of risky behavior related to drug use, violence, and HIV/AIDS risk behaviors.

The grantee will report on relevant performance measures such as: subject retention; number of follow-up interviews conducted during the period of the grant; and number and content of papers and presentations completed by researchers involved with the grant.
