Abstract Details

2007, Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.), Xavier University, Psychology.
The Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument 2 (MAYSI-2) was developed to screen for mental health problems co-morbid with delinquency in the juvenile population, help predict problematic behavior during incarceration, and identify youth who may need treatment for problems other than the legal issues that led to incarceration. Norms and cut-off scores were developed for a large sample (n= 7847) of incarcerated youth and the construct validity, split-half reliability, and internal consistency for the MAYSI-2 were evaluated and compared with those from the Grisso and Bamum study (2000). Reliability analyses indicated strong reliability. Significant differences were observed between age groups and sex and between races on MAYSI-2 scales. Factor analyses identified eight factors, most corresponding to Grisso and Bamum's (2000) original Massachusetts normative sample.
