The first section of the report, dealing with needs assessment, describes the scope of the problem, the juvenile justice system, and prevention and early intervention youth services. The first chapter describes the ethnic diversity of the major Southeast Asian groups in Multnomah County, and outlines common types of social interactions among these communities. The chapter on the juvenile justice system notes several factors that affect the disposition of youth at each point including a lack of culturally competent resources and services, a policy that bars prosecution of minor felonies and misdemeanors until the third arrest, the availability of bilingual staff, the degree to which parents are involved with their children, and the lack of adequate follow-up services. The second half of the report includes a model program development plan, based on national program models, program models for this county, and implementation priorities. 1 figure, 1 table, and 4 appendixes
