Prevalence of mental disorders in closed educational centers in France

CONCLUSION: This study is the first French epidemiological study of mental disorders in juvenile offenders. It suggests that the detection of psychiatric disorders in young people in CEC is an important prerequisite for the implementation of targeted interventions according to different profiles. Furthermore, collaboration between the medical-psychological and judicial fields, in the form of an operational partnership, is necessary to guarantee better support for these young people.PMID:38368185 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep.2023.11.026
