Correlations between psychopathology and self ‐reported quality of life among adolescents in youth correctional facilities in Lagos, Nigeria: A short report

Conclusions and implications for practiceAlthough we were unable to infer direction of relationship between psychopathology and QoL among these adolescents, it is plausible to suppose that treatment of mental health problems could have a positive impact on rehabilitation and reintegration. Given the rate of likely psychopathology, mental health screening within young offender institutions should be routine, and followed, as necessary with full assessment and resultant treatment.
