Ethnically and racially diverse youth athletes underutilize mental health services, resulting in social and economic costs to society (Gudiño et al., 2008; Snowden & Yamada, 2005).

The present study investigated percentage of absenteeism in relation to contextual variables in a diverse sample of truants referred to programs designed to improve attendance. First, a model of school climate (Sharing of Resources, Order and Discipline, Parent Involvement, Student Interpersonal Relations, and Student-Teacher Relations) contributing to severity of absenteeism was tested via structural equation …
