To examine the relationship between youth incarceration in adult correctional facilities and mental health in early adulthood.
We analyzed nationally representative data from 1997 through 2019 (N = 8,961) using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. An ordinary least squares regression model using inverse probability weights was used to assess the influence of youth incarceration in an adult facility on average mental health scores from age 18 to 37.
Respondents incarcerated in an adult facility as a youth had poorer average mental health than those not held in adult prisons or jails over the course of the study period. Those incarcerated for longer in adult facilities also exhibited more mental health symptoms.
Young people incarcerated in adult correctional facilities experience poorer long-term mental health related to depression and anxiety in early adulthood.
探讨青年在成人监狱服刑与成年早期心理健康之间的关系。
我们使用国家青年纵向调查 1997 年的数据（N=8961），通过逆概率权重的普通最小二乘回归模型，评估了青年在成人设施中被监禁对 18 至 37 岁期间平均心理健康评分的影响。
与未被关押在成人监狱或看守所的人相比，作为青年在成人设施中被监禁的受访者在整个研究期间的平均心理健康状况较差。在成人监狱中被监禁时间较长的人也表现出更多的心理健康症状。
被监禁在成人监狱的年轻人在成年早期经历了更糟糕的与抑郁和焦虑相关的长期心理健康问题。
