Arrested girls in the United States (US) are often diverted from detention through referrals to juvenile specialty courts (e.g., juvenile drug court), community-based diversion programs, or pre-adjudicated probation services. Limited research suggests that sexual and reproductive health needs for diverted, or court-involved, non-incarcerated (CINI) girls are similar to that of their detained counterparts. Despite the US justice system's emphasis on diverting youth from detention, research and programmatic efforts to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes has primarily focused on detained girls. Policy and programming for CINI girls is scant and thus warrants further attention. This report details the immediate sexual and reproductive health needs of CINI girls. We discuss implications of current health care policies and practices for this population and conclude with recommendations for research focused on improving access to sexual and reproductive health care.
在美国，被拘留的女孩通常会通过转介到少年专门法庭（如少年毒品法庭）、社区转介项目或审前缓刑服务等方式，避免被拘留。有限的研究表明，被转介或参与法庭程序、未被监禁（CINI）的女孩的性健康和生殖健康需求与被拘留的同龄人相似。尽管美国司法系统强调将青少年从拘留中转移出来，但改善性健康和生殖健康结果的研究和项目主要集中在被拘留的女孩身上。针对CINI女孩的政策和项目很少，因此值得进一步关注。本报告详细阐述了CINI女孩当前的性健康和生殖健康需求。我们讨论了当前医疗保健政策和做法对这一人群的影响，并最后提出了旨在改善性健康和生殖健康护理可及性的研究建议。
