Brief Summary:
Incarcerated adolescents engage in suicide ideation self-harming behaviors and have poor coping abilities suggesting a need for mental health intervention and treatment Previous research on self-harm among community adolescents revealed that self-harmers were more likely than non-self-harmers to report suicidal ideation and having made a suicide plan
This study plans to evaluate the suicidal intent of self-harming and non-self harming adolescent admitted at juvenile detention house in Taiwan Furthermore this study also plans to identify the prevalence and types of self-harming activities of incarcerated youths Another purpose is to investigate the coping abilities of incarcerated youth with evaluation of efficacy of short problem-solving skills therapy intervention by trained psychologists of three sessions for adolescents with poor coping adjustment referral to adolescent psychiatrist when severe mental disorder or poor coping abilities were found
By analyzing their suicidal ideation self-harming behaviors and coping adjustment the investigators will be able to give timely intervention and identify effective means and methods for better serving this population This study hopes to help the incarcerated youth to replace their self-destructive behaviors with effective coping adjustment abilities
