Native American Juvenile Detainees In New Mexico: A Descriptive Study Of Gender Differences, Mental And Behavioral Health Conditions, And Social Risk Factors, Aaron Price

Undergraduate Medical Student Research

Risk factors for juvenile detention vary by gender but, in general, include low household income, individual and family histories of mental and behavioral disorders, sexual and physical abuse, low academic achievement/academic difficulty, and ethnic/racial minority status. In New Mexico, a number of these risk factors characterize the lives of Native American youth. However, the prevalence of and relationships among risk factors for detained Native American juveniles is unknown. Moreover the lack of data has impeded community-based mental and behavioral health treatment and prevention efforts meant to decrease destructive behavior and prevent initial or subsequent detention or incarceration.

Undergraduate Medical Student Research

The reason for doing this is because the recent information of smoking and smokeless tobacco use in the state of New Mexico is incomplete, specifically in the Roswell area. This information is needed in order to understand the association between smokeless tobacco use and oral cancer, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. There are also questions of whether people are stopping smoking and switching to smokeless tobacco as well as the possibility that using smokeless tobacco could lead to …
