Under the direction of Dr. Linda

involved in the criminal justice systems.
We focus on gender and race/ethnicity, examining the development and
persistence of psychiatric disorders; disparities in risk and protective
factors associated with psychiatric disorders; related outcomes such as social
role attainment and recidivism; and HIV/AIDS.
The program’s current study is the
Northwestern Juvenile Project, a large-scale, federally-funded, longitudinal
investigation of mental health needs and outcomes of 1829 delinquent youth,
enrolled between 1995 and 1998.
