Characterizing caregivers of youth at risk for substance use and caregiver engagement in the youth legal system: a mixed methods approach
Results highlight a wide variability in degree of caregiver participation with the youth legal system and legal staff's approaches to caregivers as well as significant barriers that caregivers face in their attempt to be involved in their youth's lives and legal cases. Additional work is needed to explore the caregiver perspective and identify the impact of specific caregiver characteristics on their youth and their youth's legal outcomes.
