Abstract

Abstract Young people with neurodevelopmental disorders are overrepresented in the youth justice system and face many disadvantages due to their impairments. The current study investigated what factors predict and contribute to the behavior of youth justice professionals working in the Queensland (QLD) youth justice system, utilizing a behavior change wheel framework. Eighty-one youth justice professionals participated in an online survey assessing capability, opportunity and motivation and additional open-ended questions capturing their recommendations for improvement. Results demonstrated that training frequency, capability, opportunity and motivation significantly predicted behaviors to identify and support young people with neurodevelopmental disorders (i.e., target behaviors). Capability (p = <.001) and motivation (p = .02) were significant independent predictors of the target behaviors. Examination of open-ended responses provided by the youth justice professionals identified several key areas, consistent with existing literature, which were in need of modifications to further support young people with neurodevelopmental disorders. These included: use of language, availability of resources, increased liaison with stakeholders, and knowledge and understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders. Overall, the current results provide helpful directions in terms of future targets for implementation strategies and interventions to better support young people with neurodevelopmental conditions who are involved with the QLD youth justice system.

了解目前工作人员的经验,实践和需求,支持青少年神经发育障碍在昆士兰青年司法系统
摘要患有神经发育障碍的年轻人在青年司法系统中的比例过高,由于他们的残疾,他们面临着许多不利因素。目前的研究利用行为改变轮框架,调查了哪些因素可以预测和促进昆士兰青年司法系统青年司法专业人员的行为。81名青年司法专业人员参加了一项在线调查,评估了能力、机会和动机,并提出了一些额外的开放式问题,提出了改进建议。结果表明,训练频率、能力、机会和动机显著预测了识别和支持患有神经发育障碍的年轻人的行为(即目标行为)。能力(p=<.001)和动机(p=.02)是目标行为的显著独立预测因素。对青年司法专业人员提供的开放式答复的审查确定了几个关键领域,与现有文献一致,这些领域需要修改,以进一步支持患有神经发育障碍的年轻人。其中包括:语言的使用、资源的可用性、加强与利益相关者的联系,以及对神经发育障碍的了解和理解。总的来说,目前的结果为实施战略和干预措施的未来目标提供了有益的指导,以更好地支持参与昆士兰青年司法系统的患有神经发育疾病的年轻人。
