The findings showed that only one respondents reported meetings all goals and objectives planned during regional workshops that were held to increase awareness of the health needs of incarcerated youth. Barriers that prevented participants from meeting their goals and objectives included timing, lack of or poor collaboration, and economic problems. Respondents reported success in meeting some goals and objectives, particularly in the areas of collaboration/coordination, standards development, training, and establishing statewide networks. To improve the system of services for children and youth in the juvenile justice system, States should design juvenile justice programmatic strategies that incorporate the public health approach, coordinate services between agencies providing services to children, adopt strategies to improve the physical and mental health of the juvenile justice population, and encourage health care professionals to assume a greater responsibility for improving the quality of health care within juvenile justice facilities. The second section of this report describes State programs and initiatives, highlighting goals, objectives, program actions, community actions, State actions, and current initiatives.
