The Northwestern Juvenile Project is a longitudinal study of 1,829 youths enrolled from 1995 to 1998 at the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center.1 Youth involved in the study were assessed through structured diagnostic interviews and reassessed up to 13 times over a period of 16 years. Incredibly, of the original sample of 1,829 youths, 1,394 (76%) participants had a 16-year interview. To date, this remains the largest study of its kind and has provided invaluable information about outcomes of justice-involved youth. Previously published results from the project have elucidated the depth of trauma in this population, with 93% of the youth sampled reporting exposure to life-threatening trauma and the challenges they face in obtaining mental health care after release from detention.2,3.
