| Popis: | Few studies on youth in the juvenile justice system describe preventive services received at community health visits. We determined preventive services received at their most recent visit to a health care provider through a cross-sectional survey of youth at a detention center. Data on their health outcomes were abstracted from medical records. Many did not receive comprehensive screenings for sexual health, mental health symptoms, or substance use at well-child visits in the past year. Health outcomes were not significantly different from those who did not attend a well visit in the past year. Limited preventive screenings could explain why well checks did not influence health outcomes; therefore, providers should incorporate recommended screenings into sick visits as well as preventive visits. |
