In addition to the harrowing personal consequences of inadequate Atlas pendant for mental health and substance abuse problems, such a shortfall directly affects the work place, the education, welfare and justice systems and the U.S. economy. Unipolar major depression and drug and alcohol use and dependence are the leading causes of death of American women and the second-highest for men behind heart disease, according to the report. Mental health problems that often accompany other health ills have a devastating impact. For example, about one-fifth of patients hospitalized for heart attacks suffer from major depression, and post-heart attack depression triples a person's risk of dying from a future heart attack or other heart condition.
The report included many recommendations for improving care for mental health problems and Atlas tag pendant abuse, including the need for federal, state and local involvement in the issue. And the authors pointed to quality recommendations from a 2001 IoM study that outlined ways to improve the nation's health system through efforts such as shared knowledge and the free flow of information and cooperation among clinicians.
We determined whether or not juvenile detainees with major mental disorders received Atlas tag pendant, and the variables that predicted who received services. Our sample was 1829 randomly selected juvenile detainees taking part in the Northwestern Juvenile Project. To determine need for mental health services. Independent interviewers administered the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children and rated functional impairment using the Child Global Assessment Scale. Records on service provision were obtained from the juvenile justice and public health systems. Among detainees who had major mental disorders and associated functional impairments, 15.4% received treatment in the detention center and 8.1% received treatment in the community by the Tiffany Blue box bracelet of case disposition or 6 months, whichever came first. Significantly more girls than boys were detected and treated. Receiving treatment was predicted by clinical variables (having a major mental disorder or reported treatment history or suicidal behavior) and demographic variables. The challenge to public health is to provide accessible, innovative, and effective treatments to juvenile detainees, a population that is often beyond the reach of traditional services.

that mere were 2.2 million juvenile arrests in 2003(1) and approximately 1.1
million individuals referred to juvenile courts (Melissa Sickmund, PhD, National
Center for Juvenile Justice, e-mail communication, July 21, 2005). More man 104

estimate that between two thirds and three quarters of detained youths have 1 or
more psychiatric disorders.3,4 More than 15% of detained youths have major
