Cluster Profiles Of Multiple Problem Youth

Mental Health Problem Symptoms, Substance Use, and Delinquent Conduct

Cathryn C. Potter

University of Denver

The prevalence and patterns of co-occurring mental health problem symptoms, substance use, and delinquent conduct were examined in a sample of multiple problem, detained youth. Three distinct patterns of co-occurrence were found using cluster analysis. Youth in two of the clusters had moderate mental health problems but differed in the severity of substance abuse and delinquent conduct. A third group displayed serious mental health symptoms and suicidality coinciding with high rates of substance use and crime.

Key Words: children’s mental health • juvenile justice • adolescent substance abuse
